Probably the type of people building up something viable for years (popular expression I heard: raise their children), with years of work and commitment, then operate it and improve when necessary - keeping alive in hard times - without overgrowth is not extinct yet. In those companies laying off is a hardship, not as easy as changing a component to a newer one in a machine, quite the opposite. Older the component the harder it is. Almost inevitably these are small or medium places where people know each other's culture (not by adopting it from some pompous policy document or pretentious HR event). For those having the opportunity working for such groups long the world works differently.
