My first industry job: lies, deceptions, and layoffs

Yes, of course there are. When I moved on (from the underpaid job I mentioned in another post), I got almost double the salary because I was so underpaid at that previous job. After being there a year, I was offered a 5% raise, but I negotiated it to about 15% IIRC because I was clearly worth it and they didn't want me to leave.

Some companies prosper in business by being run properly, others do it by sheer coincidence.

I work in finance, so I think the company knows perfectly well what they are doing. Ifs no coincidence they are taking advantage of people.

This.

It's business. If they treat employment as some kind of "friends" relationship, they will go broke, and you will lose your job.

They don't have to treat it as a friends thing to treat people fairly. The least they can do is not violate their own policies (happens all the time at my company).
