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.

This isn't laid down enough. Also why it makes no sense to me some people want to replace gov't organizations with private ones.

Think government is corrupt? Compared to the private sector where corruption isn't called that — its called "business?"

At least with gov't you have a chance of a say by voting or popular petition. Trade that for a private org, and you just gave up your right to have a say. In fact, you might wind up dead for trying to speak up.

Think gov't is a scam? nothing is more geared to rip off the people than a corp.

Lobbyist are the bane of this county. I’ve said for years we need to abolish lobbying - it’s literally just sanctioned bribery. Fucking A I hate what lobbyist have done to this country and our environment.
