Been at my current company for 9 years. It’s pretty great, never had a knife in my back or anything.
And still I remember every day that it’s a company, whose only goal in existence is making money, and if a set of numbers on a sheet are balanced in a certain way, I’ll still lose my job, regardless of my reputation, work ethos or anything else.
Keeps me grounded I can “believe” in my company without having to really drink the kool-aid.
