Don't be a job hopper
Cartoon grasshopper in a work cap, drooling and clutching a lunch pail and a fistful of dollar bills, walks away from a factory skyline. The headline labels the reader a job hopper; the line below sets soldiers sticking to their guns against the worker who should stick to his job. Name-calling and transfer from the soldier's duty.
