Definitely fine from a personal perspective and resume building, it's just not in the best interest of the business because as soon as the person doing resume building is finished they'll jump ship. I've definitely done this myself.

But i don't see this being good from a pure business perspective.

I certainly hope not everyone does so. I've seen plenty of people lean choices based on resume / growth / interest than the pure good of the business but not to leave after doing so.

And a business at the end of the day is operated by its people. Sure, there are a odd few that operate in good faith, but we're not robots or AI. I doubt every decision everywhere is 100% business optimal and if it's the only criteria.
