It's interesting how personal experience colors this view. Personally I've had the odd colleague who didn't care, but they typically moved on, or got moved on, after a while. But lots of people here have obviously experienced it, perhaps at multiple places, and so project that to "all companies". I guess it does matter where you work, and perhaps numbering staff in thousands, or tens of thousands, means you end up with a lot of dross?
