I dread corporate kool aid, it's gut wrenching to me to hear how much people are motivated to be productive when you know the real sense of defeat that resides in a lot of companies, especially the largest ones... Around 30 years old I realized that it was the people I worked with and their personality, sense of humor, real conversations, and dedication to growing and solving problems was the best aspect of going in to work, not the sht written in company manuals and useless words in all hands meetings, or even that our Billionaire CEO went to Harvard. When I leave a job, I've kept the good friends, even hired some of them. All the company gave me was a t-shirt and a mug full of kool aid that most times I didn't really care to hold onto. They want you to believe a company is a living being or a vibe, it's simply not.... They often change in name and branding just to avoid liability, so you don't need to look to a company for fulfillment, it comes by heavily inserting humanity into every aspect of the work... If the humanity is missing, I recommend saving money and moving to a new place where it does reside.
