Comment on James Gosling: Why I Quit Oracleparent

Job security, 401k, health care benefits, etc. Same reasons anyone signs up as a permanent employee anywhere.

Except that you don't have job security precisely because you're not going into management. Cost of living raises for 15 years without moving up the ladder (i.e. going into management) make you stick out like a soar thumb. In my experience these are always the first to go because they just look too expensive on any chart.
