One of the less lunatic posts here. Beyond what’s required by law and by contract, neither party owes the other shit… which is to say, from the perspective of living in a place that has the luxury of real worker protection laws and rights, Americans are kinda boned.
Yeah, once upon a time there was an idea of sacrifice for the company and it waill sacrifice for you. That is gone, but not everyone knows this. Now no one should ever sacrfice or compromise for a company, thinking it will show thier loyalty and get paid back.

FYI, this belief actively keeps folks (including me, previously) out of some really productive, effective and great communities.
While it’s legally true, it’s not ethically acceptable in many important mutual aid agreements.
I find that once I spend enough time in a community, I owe a lot of people for a lot of good they have done me.
I didn’t previously have strong awareness of this, and my lack of awareness limited my career progress and community reputation.
Edit: I find that someone posted it to LinkedIn is particularly funny, since LinkedIn is all about posturing for a mostly imaginary community.
