So the millennials who want change are mostly testing it while they keep the job they have. Glassdoor’s latest Millennial Report calls the approach “stability stacking.” Workers build up skills, income, contacts, and other job prospects at the same time, and if they lose one job, they still have the rest to fall back on. They learn AI skills, move sideways into a different role, or get known in the field they want to join, all while still drawing a paycheck. “Stability stacking is a response to this moment of, ‘I thought it would feel better. I thought I could count on my career and feel stable,'” Martin added.
