I usually have comparable or better options available at any given time due to the sheer number of recruiters who are constantly floating things my way.
An up-to-date, relevant skillset is worth a potential 5 figure pay bump in the near future, which tends to be much more lucrative than slightly increased job security at my current pay rate.
They usually get one screw-up before I skip out for a better paying gig.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Have more than tripled my salary in the last 6 years hopping around like this.
But honestly, I'm also just not a fan of management styles which attempt to extract additional value via appeals to fear.
Usually if I see workplace management react to crunch time by letting shit roll downhill while making negative implications about how resistance might impact job security, that instantly puts me in job hunting mode.
I might stick around for a bit to help out people on my team that I actually like, but at that point I'm already mentally checked out and looking for my next gig.

The Shift key became infinitely more useful once my ears acclimated to the setup change.
In many ways it's not so different than billiards/snooker/pool. Being a good shot-maker helps but just about all the consistently performing pros focus first and foremost on position-play and thinking several shots ahead.

Seems like you'd only want to use parseInt if you expect to need radix changes at some point, e.g. converting between hex strings, decimal values, and binary strings
['1', '7', '11'].map(Math.round)
// => [1, 7, 11]
[["00000001", 2], ["00000111", 2], ["0x0B", 16]].map(x => parseInt(...x))
// => [1, 7, 11]plausibilities | 6 years ago | on: World’s top bicycle maker is moving U.S. orders to Taiwan factory
