What should a potential employer do better to encourage you to stay?

Keep the company intact and afloat?

I was thinking about this the other day while cleaning up my resume. Most of the places I've worked don't exist anymore. The reasons why are all over the map (change in business climate, falling out with investors, executives that can't get along, right product at the wrong time, etc.). A few of the companies I might still be with had they not cratered. The people were good, the projects were good. I was getting to do good work, and I was learning stuff. Alas.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
