“We care about a collaborative environment,” and you look at their values statements and it’s all about delivering shareholder value or hitting the bottom line. Well, you’re not actually encouraging collaboration and pausing to get to know somebody—there’s a disconnect.

Trying to encourage any sort of camaraderie in environments where the default experience is that you are a disposable commodity is laughable.Even the revered workplace of google was firing employees with 20 years at the org by locking them out of slack to buy back their own shares. I would prefer knowing where I stand from day 1 than getting blindsided.
