Why would you presume that my experience is imaginary? I’ve been in situations where I’ve gone against the company and there was nothing they could do. And I’ve stood close to situations where a company tried everything to get someone fired and it either didn’t work or they had to give them a big bag of money and help them find another job. You see, in countries where labor laws are actually (to a degree, there’s always room for improvement) well-written it’s not only hard to fire someone, it’s relatively easy for workers to put up a fight.

And I’ve never stated that my viewpoint is universal, I’ve only stated that the original point was generalized and I had a problem with that. And against my better judgement I replied. Because anytime you go against the grain and don’t adhere to the ‘work bad, company bad’ mantra in this circlejerk of a community, all hell breaks loose.
