Which was true for the last generation, when you were supposed – and did – put up with the bullshit, because the company would care for you and offer you employment until retirement, and afterwards offer an adequate pension.
Nowadays, in far too many companies all you get for hard work is getting downsized. I can't blame people for not wanting to put up with that, and there's not nearly enough reasonable companies around.
- hsitz 11y agoYou sound like a twenty-something whose historical perspective is lacking. It's been at least several generations, probably more, since that kind of job (expected lifetime employment with pension) has been widespread.

I'm 40 now and I certainly didn't get a company to "care for" me; that promise went away generations ago. The last time anyone was hiring on those terms was maybe the 70's. Three generations have gone by since anyone pretended that lifetime employment is actually still a thing.
