Perhaps not in a fiduciary sense, but I feel it kinda does mean something if that's what they promised to those employees when they were hired.

- MuffinFlavored 4y agoWhat would you say is a realistic expectation when you are hired? "We guarantee you a job for the next 25 years of your life no matter what as long as you perform well?" You and I can both agree that's probably not realistic. So what is a realistic expectation? 10 years? 5 years? 18 months? It'd be pretty unfortunate for a company to hire you and then lay you off within 3-6 months but... to hold it against the company as if they should've treated you better instead of looking out for themselves is a pretty weird way to walk through life?
- JohnFen 4y agoIt all depends. If the company hired me knowing that there was a significant chance I'd be laid off so quickly, the company has behaved very badly. If it was a surprise to everyone, that's just the breaks.
- jahsome 4y agoI think my point is that I'd have different expectations about duty of care from a company with billions in the bank, and a mom and pop general store. I recognize "it's all business" but if either of said businesses are boasting "we have the best culture and our employees are like family" then dawg, it's not just about business anymore.
