From personal experience. Many things. Watching your teammates get laid off one-by-one over several months because the stock price crashed 70%, while the CEO gets a 30 mil dollar bonus. All those team members got a one-day notice they were being laid off so you're constantly on edge that any little thing you say or do could get you downsized. Watching the product you've been working on for a year slowly get shuttered and you're powerless to do anything. It's at the whim of the 'leaders'. Watching more and more of the work go to outsourcing and low cost centers that are so low cost it's not even competitive in India. The boss that hired you getting pushed out and the new boss hiring his best friend whose not even a developer and excluding you from meaningful work. No one caring about your ideas or values you.
You're just tolerated. Etcc.. I could go on. Capitalism can suck.
