Yep. They’ll demand loyalty from you, but not return it. The second a new CEO arrives, they’ll want to show improvements on the bottom line. Fastest way to “save” money is to sack some people.

Unless you’re in sales, you are a line item in a cost centre. Your salary is a dollar value they can save if they get rid of you.

HR exists to protect the org, not the individual people in it.

If you’re looking for loyalty, get a dog.

I wonder what they would be saying if they’d been allowed to weaken encryption and back-door the fuck out of everything before the Salt Typhoon folks got involved.
