    I am not assuming that utopian world you described, but saying that it is worth your sanity to look for a middle ground.

    Regarding the "if you jump around too much" point: what if some people are fine with bending and others are not? Sorry but I am not buying the scaremonger "wisdom". I will simply work for those companies that do not see me as a liability but as a resource, problem solved.
