Luckily, developers can easily switch jobs. However, it's recommended to stay in a job for a couple of years. Otherwise you'll get the job hopper flag.

With a job hopper flag people would think, you can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. Nobody cares if IT is generally a crazy industry, a job hopper can go to places where they really need somebody to join. Those places are already crazy... You see, where I'm going with this?

So yeah, we must not endure an abusive workplace. Unfortunately, sometimes we have to.

You shouldn't stick around a bad job JUST to avoid being seen as a job hopper. I can't speak for everyone, but when I see someone leaving a job they recently started, I'll ask about it, but won't hold it against them if there is a good reason. Just be sure you can express your issues clearly without sounding petty.

Of course that only works if it's a rare thing, not every job. If someone is having the same issue at every job the problem probably isn't their bosses, it's probably them.
