Well, you're probably right. I don't have that kind of friend relationship with my manager. But then I don't really want that kind of relationship with my manager either. I work to get paid, not banter.
Every job expects the employees to do certain tasks, that's why they hire people. Are you telling me you have a job where you do whatever the fuck you want and somebody pays you?
Yeah businesses are run by people, and people often make poor decisions. And it's usually impossible to judge the wisdom of decisions until long after they are made.
My employer is generous, and I think they treat the employees well. So that seems like a good business practice. But it might be the case that they're overly generous such that eventually they have some financial hardship. Maybe a competitor arises that spends less on payroll and employee benefits and takes over our market and makes me unemployed. It could happen, or it might not.
I guess the bottom line for me is that I disagreed with the headline. I've mostly always worked in tech companies for decades now, Maybe I've been fortunate but I've generally found all my employers to be decent and honest. They're just people, same as any other kind of job. And my compensation has always seemed fair and competitive.
