Yes, I agree. I should have written "never" in quotes. One way to think about this is: which companies would you never work for without feeling you have relinquished some part of your identity? I'd risk saying that most people here are quite privileged, and losing a fair chunk of that privilege (and, for example, ending up homeless) would be a significant hit to most people's day-to-day identity. Not that I think this state of affairs is good, or being homeless makes one less of a person (I don't). This is more of a statement of fact.
