my only motivation to be there is to earn money and my 401k. So many of my coworkers and management feel offended by this statement.
I’m union. Union lawyer thinks this is a management strategy to try to manipulate me.
Cue BS answer for any c-suite that tries making me feel insecure over this:
well, I’m a terrible liar, that’s why I’m asking you :D
the unfriendly party might be easy: I’m always friendly and direct because I want to work. maybe that?
Make yourself painful to lose. I get consistently ranked above my peers. What are they gonna do, fire me?
When the butchers at a single Walmart store in Texas formed a union, Walmart retaliated by firing every butcher nationwide and switching to only pre-packed meats for all stores.
They’ll put themselves through a lot to make sure the peons don’t get too uppity.
Don’t delude yourself into thinking they won’t. I had a CTO fire the whole office in a tizzy fit because one of my coworkers commented negatively and rudely about his strategy. I was literally the only person that knew anything about our core home grown CRM. Everyone can be sacrificed on the ego of the C suite.
Oh no doubt, but I have confidence in finding a new spot that (hopefully) wouldn’t have such a hostile workplace.
Yes. Big corporations always have at least three guys with more motivation or fewer morals
