The question isn't whether a good employer-employee relationship is possible. the question is whether a horrible employee-employer relationship, one that has significant butterfly effects, is possible.

Sometimes I'm amazed at the assumptions being made here and elsewhere that what applies to one person's life applies at large. It's not just survivorship bias, it's some kind of egocentrism (in a perceptual sense) bias.

For some reason, there's an attitude that "because you can't control your luck, you shouldn't control what you actually can control" which is dumb. You can acknowledge both. But you need to maximize that which is under your control (and if you don't do that you have no room to complain about anything else.)
