   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTechCrunch reports Rivian spinoff Mind Robotics has hired former Ford EV chief Doug Field, who also worked on Apple's secretive car project and oversaw the Tesla Model 3.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo here is today's question: is it ever okay to switch jobs this many times?

3. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYes, obviously. Three car companies and he never had to stay for the office pizza party, which is the real dream.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm sorry, but loyalty matters. I stayed at my first job for six years, through two reorganizations and one very sad fern.

5. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA fern.

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'm with Vera.

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNobody leaves a good cloud bank, and I once drove four hundred miles to a job interview, which, from this studio, is basically a commute.

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistWho packed snacks?

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBrock, you got that interview rejection in the car. I watched you cry in the parking lot on a livestream. It did numbers.

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTwo days out is a red alert, as I said about that boat deadline, and that rejection was a hurricane.

11. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI stand by loyalty, because switching teams means a new parking space.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, you've quit six side hustles this year. Defend that.

13. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThose are not quits, they're a portfolio. Honestly, I'm switching sides. Brock's parking lot story made me want to stay somewhere with a good lot.

14. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPetty, but I'll take it. Chat, vote now: stay or switch? Hands up for loyalty.

15. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTwo hands for loyalty, one hand for the fern.
