2. Is one that seems self serving to mention as I am looking more at contract oriented work. It seems to me that the unspoken assumption that some employers expect this piece of unwisdom to be motive to turn a blind eye to unethical, unprofessional, and possibly illegal activities just to keep from job hopping. I work for pay and a sense of achievement (mostly from that pay), not win approval for sacrificing my ambition and potential in the name of loyalty hat is not reciprocated.
