"Job-hopping" is the code word of ancient brothels?
Yes, "job-hopping" is indeed a code word for ancient brothels. But there are two versions about what it really means.

There is a saying that a guest who goes to a brothel doesn't like the girl who serves him, but goes to another girl to find a guest. This practice is called "job hopping".

There is also a saying from another angle, that is, from the brothel woman. This statement refers to the brothel woman abandoning the original guests and choosing richer or more congenial guests instead. This kind of brothel woman's practice of finding new love and climbing higher branches is called "job hopping".

Either way, it's a story of "starting chaos and eventually abandoning it" in a brothel, and it's not a shame. But in fact, it can't be said that the "job-hopping" of ancient brothels is a shameful thing. After all, brothels are places to do business, and it is understandable for buyers and sellers to consider their own interests first.

Today, the word "job-hopping" has survived and is still widely used, but its meaning is very different from the past. Nowadays, the word "job-hopping" is mostly used in the workplace, which refers to a person changing jobs from one company to another. In fact, the essential meaning is similar to the ancient usage, which generally means "good birds choose wood to live"

But in our eyes, the usage of "job-hopping" in ancient times is derogatory and disgraceful and cannot be used by outsiders; Today, "job-hopping" is a neutral word, which has no specific positive or negative significance, but only indicates an act of career choice.

In fact, there are many words that are very different from the ancient meaning, even completely different from the present meaning, such as "job-hopping" You can learn more and write it down to avoid the embarrassment of using wrong words in daily written or oral communication.
