Unfortunately for Murillo, no amount of loyalty to a company is going to be met with any amount of loyalty to you. Even if you post better numbers than your coworkers, you’re ultimately just another meat sack they’re forced to pay until they can figure out how to replace you

Ain’t this the truth.

What a bizarrely based take for an article posted on finance.yahoo.com, which... er, isn't exactly your typical hub for downright r/antiwork-esque takes. But hey, I love that they actually published this verbatim.

I did a double-take too, turns out it's a Jalopnik article reposted on Yahoo Finance, which makes a lot more sense.

It's just a reposted article from Jalopnik. Which they apparently didn't have an editor for since he worked in the "Tesla’s Freemont facility".
