This doesn’t seem to be the whole story. Also, unless you’re the founder, a corporation should never be such a big part of your identity.

- dathinab 6y agoExcept that some of the big companies like e.g. Apple do all kinds of thinks to try to make Apple not just your job but part of your live. Furthermore I have meet with people not employed by Apple which where big Apple fanatics, Apple for them was part of their identity to a non negligible degree. So yes this is totally possible in my experience. Sure a founder is probably even more invested, but then the level of (emotional) investment he show is totally realistic.
- fortran77 6y agoThat was my first thought. I remember working at Grumman when they had a layoff, and a guy with F-14 Vanity license plates and an F-14 tattoo was laid off. He looked devastated! It's very important not to link your identity to your job (or your computer or your operating system).
