Nowadays, people talk about job hopping when changing jobs. Where did this word first come from?

Now we often use "job hopping" or "fire the boss" to represent that we have changed jobs. Today we will talk about the word job hopping. In fact, this word already existed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. , but job-hopping at that time had the connotation of evil, which was very indecent.

At first, the word "job hopping" was used for prostitutes. It said that a prostitute had an ambiguous relationship with a client. After lingering for a period of time, the prostitute found a richer person. The owner of the house, so he abandoned the previous one and followed this richer man, just like a horse jumping from one trough to another to eat grass. Therefore, this behavior of climbing to a new height was later called ?Job hopping?.

Later, the word "job hopping" was also used for clients, also referring to the act of changing from one prostitute to another. In a songbook compiled by Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty, there was a song called " Job-hopping", which clearly points out the behavior of men and women looking for new loves in romantic relationships.

But later, I don’t know when it started, this kind of "job-hopping" to describe things between men and women was used when people changed jobs. Maybe people have gradually forgotten its original meaning. Maybe people Later, based on its image and popular metaphor, I used it as a joke about changing jobs. Modern people understand that "job hopping" means leaving your original job and changing to a new work unit.

What needs to be reminded here is that although job-hopping is not a bad thing, it should be noted that before changing jobs, you must be mentally prepared, find a good goal, and build on your relatively stable foundation. Go ahead and choose a better job. After all, people always want to move up. You must not change jobs out of anger. Often, job changes like this are unsatisfactory, and some people regret it after changing jobs.
