Any company that claims they're a family is 100% abusing their employees.

Bank of America: We made less than $6 billion this QUARTER, time for layoffs.

This is not a joke. They did this for years.

Dude, did you ever think about the bank and their losses? Heartless egomaniac. They must live too!

100% this. Job security is an illusion. Do what's right for you, you owe your employer no loyalty.

Depends. If they treat you loyally too, you should too. I always treated my employees as equals and any gain in profits was evenly distributed.

In a perfect world that would be the norm. People actually liking their work, having a good balance, and also not just working for someone else but for themselves. Do help make it a good year and we all have a good year. Can't make it to work today? No problem. As long as the respect is mutual.

But people with tiny egos and great greed are ruining everything.

There will always be exceptions, and I'm glad that's the case. Sounds like you're doing it right, thanks for that.

Don't thank me for just being normal. We should kick those that are egocentric asswipes. They made it normal to be an arse.

Can't agree with you more.
