- prox 5y agoThis is the big difference. People pick up on this nonsense quite fast. I don’t mind companies being cold in their layoffs, but don’t pretend you are a warm/friendly company when you aren’t. If you what you are as a company is different from what you say, you create a big rift. Companies can go down just by that attitude (seen it happen a couple of times)
- blitzar 5y agoBeen there, got the t-shirt. Ironically the one person that leant the most on the 'family' is the last person standing, having personally seen off the entire group one by one over a 12 month period of time. It turns out the old timer who 'doesnt need the money anymore' will chuck plenty of young peoples careers under the bus to keep on getting paid. That said I dont regret jumping on a plane with them at 10 minutes notice and flying across the country to help get them home when their kid died suddenly.
