I've never been at the same company for more than 5 years. Except for one time where I left for a quality of life issue (not money), the company left me in one way or another. I've been through layoffs, shutdowns, and "reductions in force". I've had management changes where the "new broom swept clean" using rank and yank to keep their sycophants and dump others.

As a result, it's difficult for a company to gain my trust that they'll provide stable long term employment. They may intend to but few actually do it these days.
