The weird thing is “confessing” about it no?
Yeah that’s a lot of information framing.
That is a lot. Like a lot a lot.
That’s going to depend a lot on context. Did he travel the world for five years, working a different temporary job at each stop? Or did he repeatedly get fired for pissing in the boss’ in-tray?
This is the answer.
Also what types of employers. Large companies vs small business.
If it’s the last one, I’m bringing my lunch to work to watch the show as the boss gets pissed.
Or maybe had to simultaneously work multiple full time jobs and a weekend job to make ends meet?

Depending on the details, either “holy fuck that’sbadman” or “holy fuck rich”.
Did your reply button get stuck? There’s four comments saying the same thing

Depends entirely on what the job is.
Is the 42 year old a welder? Then 48 different jobs might mean they’re in super high demand and contract out to high paying, low time frame jobs.
Is the 42 year old a cop or a priest? Probably skips town a lot for… reasons…
Most any other job might just mean they’ve had an interesting life and like to try new things. Their broad experience might mean they’re great for what they’re currently doing.
Even if he’s a coder I wouldn’t be surprised. Also I spent 5 years as a consultant and worked fot 1 company in about 10 diferent companies doing different things, is that 10 differenr jobs?!
I would ask follow up questions to his statement
Did you switch the keycaps for your r’s and t’s?
Tbf it’s very hard to type on my phone. The keyboard is tiny and I always make mistakes. I don’t even care anymore lol
besides I’m old and typing in my bed at night I can’t see much haha
I’m not going to fault anyone for typos. I fight my phone’s autocorrect all the time, but it was odd that just those two letters were transposed
Around here, it would be a super red flag.
Such short time employments are extremely rare and uncommon.
It would mean that either he has been fired ungracefully so many times, or he does never like what he’s doing and therefore quits very soon.
It could also mean that they started young, perhaps babysitting, dog-walking, or delivering papers. It also could mean that they’ve worked multiple jobs at the same time: in college, I worked two full-time and one part-time job in addition to classes, which ramped up my job numbers noticably.
I’ve had 50. It depends on the person and the jobs.
Some jobs are minimum wage BS jobs that people are doing just to stay alive, if you burn out on a BS job in 6 weeks that’s nothing to be ashamed of.
I also typically have worked multiple jobs at the same time. I’ve had two full-time jobs and a part-time job while going to school and not sleeping for more than 5 hours a night for like 9 months.
Are you going to hold that against me, or does it show that I have the drive and initiative to accomplish my goals no matter how difficult they may be?
Sure, I bounced between jobs a lot when I was in my teenage years and my early twenties, but once I hit college and built a career and my employment history has been Rock fucking solid, typically 3+ years between job changes.
I would say that my last 14 years of employment weighs a lot more heavily than my first 5 years of employment.
My DIL had at least that many by age 26. Now she makes more than i do, so… 🤷
I would assume they were exaggerating and/or were a consultant at some point.

You’re right. Here in 2024 your version is more likely than mine.
Let’s judge him for doing something different, while being too afraid of doing the same.
“neat.” then I go back to doing my job
Make friends with the guy. He’s got some some stories. True or not, he’s got some stories.
Oh got stories. It be easier to tell you what I haven’t done, then to list what I have done for work.
