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.


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.

Although I think smaller or mid sized companies would lean towards treating their employees better, it definitely is a case by case.

I work for a company at around 100 employees, love working there and treated well.

As an example, during middle of Covid I negotiated an extra cost of living pay adjustment which I got. There was a guy in my office that was the same pay tier, they gave him the pay raise too saying it wouldn't be right to not give it to him too.

Keep in mind this was completely unasked for by the other guy. (He still has no idea he got it because I brought the subject up)

Meanwhile my wife who put 12 years into the company she works for that has 100 people, fired her for getting pregnant and giving birth to our son. They came up with a song and dance about the reasoning but they were really obvious about the true reason.

Companies tend to be scumbags who think loyalty is just a one way street.
