      My uncle spent years preaching to me about the need to be loyal to a company. I never drank the Kool-Aid. He spent 21 years working for an investment banking company in their IT department. 4 years before he was set to retire with a full pension, etc. his company was acquired by a larger bank. He lost everything except his 401k. He then spent the next 12 years working to get his time back so he’d be able to retire. He died 2 years ago and the company sent a bouquet of flowers.

      THE COMPANY DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU!!

      Not even if you do valuable or efficent stuff for the company. You’re disposable.

      They refer to you as … HUMAN RESOURCES

      You aren’t a person, you are an instrument the company uses to make more money for itself. If you die or can no longer work, you will be replaced by another human resource.

        I had a prof twisting himself into knots trying to argue that human resources really is a positive term because companies care about and maintain their resources
