Job hopper
Significado: A person who frequently changes jobs, typically staying only a short time at each position.
Job hoppers switch jobs every year or two, often for better pay or opportunities. Older generations see it negatively — as a lack of loyalty or commitment. Younger Americans see it as smart career strategy, since staying too long at one company can mean stagnant pay. The debate is a major generational divide in American work culture.
