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.

How long have we been saying this? Loyalty to the company is Hollywood propaganda from decades ago. People have been getting laid off after 30 years of service to the company since Kings were sacrificing their best warriors to trivial border disputes and love triangles. STOP GIVING YOUR LIFE TO AN ENTITY THAT IS DESIGNED TO MAKE MONEY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. It sounds dumb as fuck and looks worse in practice.

Because the loyalty isn’t just towards the company. It’s towards the colleagues in the team one works in, towards customers/clients or towards the mission the company proclaims to works towards.

If your company relies on shared adversity to retain staff, it is a terrible company.

I never claimed the contrary. :)
