My current job.

I was with a company from 2013–2016. They were known as a sweatshop and because I did not put in all the extra hours they tried to demand, I was eventually dumped.

I got this job a couple of months later. Great people, generally 8 to 5 work day (we have some rare overtime for outages or emergencies, but it is paid), and a relaxed work environment.

I’m far happier here than I was there.

I have recruiters call me from time to time and I will listen to them if the job sounds interesting. I got one e-mail about a job that looked a lot like my resume and out of curiosity, I called about it. Turned out to be the old company. I had a good laugh and told them that I would not go back there for twice what I was getting at this job.

From what I hear, all of the people on the team I was on have moved on to other jobs.

My first year at that job, the whole company had 77% turnover. This was an IT software development and services firm, not a fast food restaurant.
