I recommended "Loyal workers are selectively and ironically targeted for exploitation". [1] From the general discussion: > Across four studies, we found consistent support for our hypotheses. First, we found that loyal employees are selectively targeted by managers for exploitation in hypothetical scenarios (Studies 1–2), and that the targeting of these loyal workers is mediated by the expectation that loyal people are readily willing to make personal sacrifices for the objects of their loyalty (Study 1). These effects were specific to targets with reputations for loyalty (Study 2)." "Organizations Weaken the Norm of Reciprocity" [2] from the follow on citation work is also interesting. Basically, a lot of math and surveys to show that diffuse organizations and the "workplace interaction" mentality, tend to result in people helping you less when you help them, work deserving reciprocity getting lost in the organization (it's just business), and business interactions always being viewed as a "what are they gonna do for me?". Not directly answering your question, yet evidence that Fortune 500's and FAANGs, as large organizations, generally shift towards exploitive, or at the least, behaviors lacking the reciprocity expected. Which tends to burn people out. [1] https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022103122001615?via%3Dihub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00221...
