I knew there was someone missing from this story. While Daisy and Esther were issued with new fantasy names, I’m afraid that Susan remains constant across all possible realities. In name if not in barbarous strength. But is she a barbarian at all?
An AI-generated impostor posing as Secretary of State Marco Rubio contacted foreign ministers, a U.S. senator, and a governor, raising alarms as the technology becomes more accessible. What do you think?
“You’re overreacting, most of the political leaders he contacted were AI impostors, too.”

“Don’t look at me, I’m only impersonating Pennsylvania Rep. Lloyd Smucker.”

“It gave itself away by hallucinating something called ‘The State Department.’”
I have come across a couple posts on job-hopping, and you usually hear about that as something to avoid. But I was wondering about the opposite: you don’t get a lot of warnings about it, but can having a longer tenure with one company also hurt you when job searching? Would the hiring person think you would be harder to train and got into bad habits at your previous job ? Would they look at a long stay as a lack of ambition?
A very, very long tenure in your most recent job can raise some questions, but not as many concerns as a pattern of many short-terms stays will raise.
But first let’s define “very long.” It’s hard to nail down an exact number, but for our purposes here, I’d say it’s more than 10 years (and definitely more so as you get closer to 15 or 20 years).
A very long tenure can make hiring managers wonder about whether you’ll be stuck in your old company’s ways of doing things or won’t have been exposed to a wider range of practices and approaches and might not adapt easily when you are.
To be clear, no decent hiring manager would take those things as a given. They might just wonder about them. If you can actively demonstrate that those concerns aren’t an issue, it should put it mostly to rest. So for example, it will help if you can show steady progression in your skills and responsibilities or can show that you’ve shepherded in change or mastered new things.
In other words, it’s less “this will hold you back when you job-search” and more “make sure you think about ways to counter this when you job-search.”
On the flip side, some companies really value longevity, and you’ll find quite a few hiring managers who consider a long tenure a plus.
