    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.
