Managers exploit loyal workers over less committed colleagues

> Prove your assertion. You are attributing logical, rational behavior to orgs and their participants that rarely are those traits. I have personally attempted to defend directs from layoffs, and that quickly turned into me making calls to other orgs so they could land safely elsewhere, facts and value be damned.

And what am I supposed to do if my experience was the exact opposite to yours? Do you want me to dig up emails and/or other company documents that show there was "logical, rational behavior" in my organization?

Nah, I’m just saying that our experiences are going to wildly differ and my recommendation is to plan for the worst. Please don’t take my comments as anything other than that, and I absolutely did not intend it as a personal attack.

If you’ve worked at amazing orgs that value commitment and will take care of folks in return, I am genuinely happy for you. I’ve looked into the abyss, and that is where my advice comes from. I wish everyone a better experience than that, but if you rely on trust alone, you’re going to have a bad time.
