    No business?

    I work as a software developer for a small business and they do care about us and not just profits.

    Recently we were all given a pay rise and a reduction in hours as they can afford to support that.

      Correct, no business. That same business will lay you off in a heartbeat if they can. Businesses do not care about you.

        What a myopic view of the world.

        Anyone can start a business and treat their employees and customers fairly. It’s just that in our Stockholm Syndrome Society, the businesses who abuse us are the most successful.

        Also, not true in my case.

        They do care and have shown on numerous occasions my supporting me when I have needed it and instilling in us that we come first and the business is secondary.

        Like the owners literally do the same work as us and are far more accommodating than they have to be for us.

        How else would you get a pay rise and a reduction in hours, able to work from home when having car trouble, not having a good mental health day fine take it off, etc.

          I cede my point. I knew I was laid off for being a piece of shit, I just knew it.

          Sorry, I’m not doing great these days.

            I’m not saying you’re a piece of shit, just that there are a few good employers out there. I also realise I am lucky.

        No that’s what Angelosaxton (American) companies are about.

        Most privately owned companies don’t care about making as much profit as possible. They want a healthy company that can pay them their salary and save up money for their pension.
