工作最少要待滿一年？潛規則不再適用 Staying at a job for a year? The rule no longer applies

　
An unwritten rule is that even if you hate a job, you have to stay there for at least a year. However, as the world of work has undergone overwhelming changes amid the pandemic, this rule no longer applies.

Baby boomers typically spent most of their careers in one organization, but the pandemic has brought more flexibility to employees. Experts point out that the stigma of job-hopping or working for a shorter period of time has decreased compared to previous years. That is, changing jobs has become a choice.

In other words, a short stay in a previous role would not be a deal-breaker as long as you can provide a solid reason.

友善讓你懂｜解說：

　
職場上有個不成文規則：就算你討厭這份工作，也必須要待滿至少一年。不過，由於疫情大流行讓職場產生翻天覆地變化，這個規則不再適用了。

嬰兒潮世代通常會在某一個組織中度過其人生大部分的職業生涯，但疫情讓勞工擁有更多彈性。專家指出，與前幾年相比，跳槽或在一個職位上待很短時間的污名，已經減少許多。因此，換工作已經變成「一種選擇」。

換句話說，只要你能給出很好的理由解釋，就算在之前的崗位待很短時間，也不會影響你成功換工作。
