I feel like all the tech companies I’ve worked at have been extremely loyal at least on the more Sr end of the ladder so I guess I don’t understand other people

I feel like all the tech companies I’ve worked at have been extremely loyal at least on the more Sr end of the ladder so I guess I don’t understand other people’s experiences at all.
When I worked at an Amazon subsidiary, I never pulled more than 40-hr weeks, took plenty of time off, had slow weeks or even months where I was struggling with a personal thing. My managers and teams were always super supportive. The pay was excellent. The stock was excellent. They were reasonable about refreshers and raises. I was there for ~5 years but what do you expect? I’ve worked for so many tech companies and the tenure is usually a couple years until it gets boring. The idea you would be loyal to a company for a 50 year career sounds like a nightmare. Like being a human cog in a machine.
