I look around and I see case after case of the Employer seeming to go out of their way to stomp on their Employees.
Buy our products? You’re fired!
Stop a shoplifter? You’re fired!
Prevent a child abduction? You’re fired!
Use the sick days we granted you as a benefit? You’re fired!
Only stupid people show loyalty to their Employer. It is not returned.
Same as it ever was. But don’t talk bad about your master, or you’re fired
Either you have honor, or you don’t.
If you’re honor is situational, then I’d argue you don’t.
I had the opposite experience with my last employer before retired. The called me in because I wasn’t taking enough time off. They didn’t threaten to fire me, but they told me I had to take a lot more vacation days.
