There are a lot of businesses where this pitch would have some merit. Mostly small/mid-sized, of course. Just because you don't own it doesn't really mean you can't have pride in it, mutually benefit from the success, etc. I think it's harder to find that but it does exist and it's certainly something to be celebrated/encouraged.

Pretty doubtful this applies to Wayfair, of course. If the principal(s) of the business don't know most of the core workforce personally, I suspect that is a pretty reliable eliminating factor for this.

Correct.

I worked for a company with 100-150 employees. Christmas party was at the boss's house. I even met his dog.

Large corporations suck.
