Well, when I was in college, I did a few internships and stuff, probably drank some of the kool-aid dished out at the time and genuinely swallowed some of the "we care for you, and really want you to excel here and make a difference in the world" type of stuff. I really did care for the companies I initially worked at and believed in the work I did. A few years down the line and a few job changes later, I've come to the realization that broadly they are similar in what they do, the way they treat people. It's just different shades of politics, infighting, employee indifference, and perks and benefits. I don't expect anyone from corporate to have my back no matter how good the work is and how much effort I put in. Maybe it's just my jaded inner self-talking. Christ, I am not that old, only just mid-30s and the way I am writing makes me sound like a grizzly 60 yr old! Now, get off my keyboard!
