I have trouble understanding how people work for such big companies. Of course if the scale is 1000 employees "the company" cannot care about you; it is an institution not a bunch of people anymore. There is no upper layer to blame, the structure and scale themselves are the culprit.
I decided against that and work in a small company. Work-life balance is nice, we are friends and we all care (at least some bit) about the company itself. That is, because "the company" is us.

Some people are better at other teams (Aka not fit for this company and get traded). However they pay very well (Cash and benefits) and I can handle it. The people that cannot should work at places more like USPS or smaller shops.
- kcb 2y agoThis is worse than the typical family speal. I hope you realize it's just another tactic of the same manipulation. Trying to provide a sense of superiority to it's employees to justify working conditions. If you can't handle it, "go work at USPS" is especially telling.
