What do they get worried about? Someone might like their exact position, no? Or do I misunderstand?
But yeah, that’s where I tried to differentiate gigs from careers. Gigs are one-time favors, sidequests if you will. When I call something a career, I refer to an indefinite mainstay. And in-between gigs and careers you might get something like my described line of work where it’s akin to a club or association taking on a labor role. If it’s a career, and the person isn’t there for more than four years, a part of me half-expects there was a falling out.
I don’t know if this is specific to software, where technology is constantly changing but companies do not. If you’ve been in the same job too long, they start questioning whether you’ve been able to keep up with technology or can adapt to a new environment
