"company loyalty" ... in programming? are you serious?
I hope for your sake that you aren't. If you are, you probably are already getting screwed and just don't know it yet. And it'll probably end with another disillusionment because the company sure as hell won't be loyal to you once the CEO can increase his exit-bonus by firing you.
- tomerv 9y agoNot all programming jobs are the same, and not all software companies have the same culture. There are a lot of jobs outside the startup bubble, and outside the US. Europe has a much better workplace culture in general , and there is some loyalty between the worker and the workplace.
- VonGallifrey 9y agoI would say that Company Loyalty is a dangerous thing. The Company isn't going to be Loyal to you. I happen to like my workplace, but I know that if the company is ever in trouble again they will fire me without hesitation. I survived 2 firing rounds already. I will not survive a 3rd one. I didn't quit till now because I was loyal, but I stayed because I was lucky. Some have decided to quit just before the firing rounds, because we all could see it coming. That is "disloyal", but they are now employed again. That may have been the better decision for them. All of this was in a European Company.
