Hard to see how that's the case with most of the business owners I know. They are small companies with < 10 employees making a living.
When you're talking about Fortune companies with 10s of thousands of employees, maybe you're right. But "all businesses in America" is painting with a massive roller instead of a brush.
- pessimizer 4y agoI've had worse experiences at small businesses than at medium-sized or large ones. Larger businesses get scrutinized. At small businesses, the owner looks you in the eye every day and thinks of your salary as coming directly out of his pocket.
- duxup 4y agoI’ve go the opposite, but I can certainly see why it might go either way depending on the person.
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoSmall companies generally aren’t subject to many labor laws, somewhere below 15 people or something? I personally get leery around the potential for working for a smaller company because you literally have less labor rights doing so.
- zdragnar 4y agoSmall companies tend to have stronger empathetic bonds between people. Larger companies are much more prone to treating people like cogs to be replaced when worn out. More than that, larger companies might be able to shuffle problematic employees around rather than having to outright fire them. It's a double edged blade to be sure- I've heard horror stories of bad small businesses as well- but my experience at both leaves me with a very strong preference for working for small companies.
