My guess (and I am not to one who wrote it, so its just my opinion) is he is looking for risk takers not afraid to bend the rules/regulations. If they are already felons, then they may have some idea of how to strike a balance between going over the edge, but not too far over the edge to get caught. If they were not a felon, then they may be too reckless, but because they were caught/incarcerated they may show a bit more discretion in their risk taking.
Either that, or the felon picked up a bunch of new quasi-legal ideas to try while they were serving time.
Wall Streeters and felons...goes like a hand in glove. Of course he wants felons. Who do you think orchestrated the Recession? What kind of people and what kind of mentality was responsible? Educated white collar felons are still felons so like I said: hand in glove. And why would any sane reasonably educated person who is aware of current events take any advice from a Gordon Gecko these days, again following the Recession? Wasn't that enough to demystify those people?
What that guy is describing is what is good for HIS COMPANY. He wants SERFS, whose entire work-lives he can use-up, before discarding them. One would be foolish to pay attention to what someone like that is saying.
Pimps also demand loyalty from their 'girls'. And then the girl, when she's dying from job-related disease, gets drowned under concrete being poured for a foundation. Listening to that "Wall Street Exec" is like listening to the Pimp saying, "I'm gonna take care of you, Baby!".
Possibly, it is only coincidental that the Financial Sector has been taken over by people whose families, back in The Old Country, were frequently pimps and brothel-keepers.

the fact that this real life Gordon Gecko and others like him, in other industries, prefer serfs is obvious. Those of us who have spent even a little bit of time working in that environment fully know this.Isn't that why we left that world? I know I did.
but Grandview, if you have some serious juice on the pimping pedigrees of some of these "big dogs" and other "Masters" of the greediverse, send me a private message. I love history.
Taking advice from that clown is like taking advice from Bernard Madoff or the Citygroup CLevel exec ring who went to prison some time ago.
Every hiring manager has a different level of tolerance when it comes to job hopping. For some, you better stay at every job for 5+ years or else be labeled a hopper. Others might not consider staying 1 year at a job hopping. He's probably one of the less tolerant, but please don't make your future career decisions just to please him at your long-term detriment.
That's What's bad about temporary or contract employment. It's still temporary even if it dressed up as a six month to a year contract. Too many makes you look unstable and your resume for a permanent job( that isn't some cockamanie temp to perm) will be summarily deleted because you will be seen as unstable. Remember hiring managers spend six seconds on a resume and will just go to the next candidate
This is one of the biggest reasons I advise people to avoid temping, if at all possible. In fact, even a job as a "sales associate at Home Depot" for one year looks better than 5 or 6 office temp jobs in one year, with gaps in between them.
The big lie is that temping is a great way to try out companies and get started in a career. Don't fall for it. Temping will slice and dice your resume and work history, and derail your future.
Sounds like a douche, remind me never to work for him. Why should any employee show any loyalty beyond what's required when the gangsters on Wall Street show none in return?

Exactly. You gotta hustle, not be hustled. If a hustler tells me I don't have what it takes to be his *****, I'll be very OK with that.
Man, I would be considered a huge job hopper by some but in the past year I have turned down over 10 jobs, simply because even in my job hopping I managed to accomplish a LOT in my industry. I just know to find the good employers. The ones who value the worker, not see them as someone they can just outsource stupid mundane tasks to.

Job hoppers mostly job hop not because they have bad work ethic, but because most of the time, the company wasn't a good fit for them or it was a toxic environment.
You only live once, why should I as a person, be subjected to sexual harassment at work and put up with it for 2 years or more so I can get enough "experience" in the position to finally job hop into something else? Do you really want to spend 2+ years in a toxic environment just so that you won't have a stigma against you when you job hop?
I wouldn't. In those two years wasted in a toxic environment or with a bad manager, I could've gone to a different company that's run a lot better and probably climb up higher in the professional ladder. I've had 10 different jobs, out of them, only 4 were a good, legit job. The rest was toxic, had no growth, mismanaged, unethical, etc.
For a long time, I thought it was my fault for not picking my jobs correctly, or for being too "high strung", but the more time passed, the more I realized that GOOD JOBS are hard to come by. There are tons of jobs out there that are bad, and frankly only an insane person will waste years putting up with the bullsh*t at their work place.
