> 1/ Drawing a salary is profit sharing.

People still get paid when companies don't turn a profit.

The point is: once your livelihood depends on being part of an organisation, your judgement about that org can’t be completely impartial.

You can be loyal to the values that your company represent or the values you expect it to hold.

A company that behaves callously doesn't reflect well on the employees that represent it.

These employees may have higher expectations of what their company behaviour should be.

You don't need to reward people with money for them to defend that.
