Thats nice and all for a big established company.

Smaller companies dont have this luxury, because execution is everything.

The issue overall shouldnt be with extra workload, but with rewards. People without kids shouldnt be angry at having to pick up the slack, thats normal part of any business, but they def have the right to be angry at the management if they dont get rewarded for it

It's true of small companies too. If you don't manage well, there are negative consequences.

Is it possible that what's changed is the price of good leadership?

I've only worked for small companies. The one company that gave me a bad impression about how it treated its employees is the only one that ended up bankrupt.

Asking salaried employees to pick up slack to deliver to market to get revenue isnt treating employees badly though.
