Entitlement, narcissism, chose your poison. This person believes they deserve more and more and more and finds ways to justify their behavior.
That said, I agree that corporations are bullshit so I get it. This person isn't a hero, though.
I'm all for job hopping, it just doesn't make sense that after 2-3 times that a company would say, "sure, come work for six months" knowing the person will waste 1-2 months of that onboarding and getting up to speed with how things work at that company.
I suspect that a lot of these get into companies during those gigantic hiring waves that result in massive layoffs a year later.
