Temporary. Everywhere, not just big tech.
There is alot of truth in your comments. We were taught that the company rewarded loyalty, determination, sacrifice, etc. But it is based on the culture and not so much as policy. Policy is used only as a tool to get rid of someone who has offended a new manager or the friend of one.
How would you explain working for a major company, when the year before you earned 17-18 power of you awards, with each one worth $25.00 to $250.00. Only to be told the next year with new people new leaders in place that your work is suddenly not up to par.
You find a quality and safety issue that cost the company a good deal of money to pull off the shelves and should have cost a few people their jobs.
Co-workers, many you considered friends, to just turn the other way while you got burned. No longer company loyalty providing the attitude of the bosses only their desire to see you gone. Then about a year later the cover up was exposed and the company terminated the plant manager
Department manager, line manager, not forhaving participated in the cover up, but for being outsiders and convenient.
Loyalty would have come to me and offered my employment back.
I guided my life around loyalty. But not certain I will anymore.
So temporary and fleeting. I refuse to bend over backwards for a company anymore. Trust no employer.
Feeling that as well
Big Tech = Meta?
A very rotten terrible employer once told me “a business doesn’t have feelings” which in my 20s was a big reality check. You are valuable up until you aren’t, best advice I have is to try and make yourself so valuable to the business they can’t afford to lose you.
Doesn’t help here though, sorry to hear about your situation!
It’s corporate culture. We mean nothing to them.
my last employer laid off high earning associates only. so loyalty is long gone.
Sadly, it's just a mutual alignment of interests. Your first loyalty is to you and your family. Companies don't have stability and you should not expect it. Be mercenary. Be fair but mercenary.
Oh and NEVER believe that HR is on the employee's side. Their job is to the company.
Welcome to the club.
I've been 10 years in the industry and have never understood how some people keep this loyalty mindset when they are exposed on the daily to people who switch jobs every 2 years and are out-earning them by at least 50%.
Are some people just not paying attention?
It’s a job now. (But it always was, the illusion is just gone now) There is no loyalty. So pursue other work, I’ve seen a significant number of leaders bounce out to increase $. It’s just late stage capitalism.
In my experience, it's somewhere in between, but, sadly, moves closer to alignment with every passing year and unrealistic growth target. A CFO told me 23 years ago to do what was best for me, because the company was going to do what was best for it. That CFO is still a good friend, and that company paid for my MBA at a top school, so his advice was counsel, not cynicism.
Only loyalty I have ever seen was in smaller companies. I was laid off after 17 years at the end of 2024. Only because the small company I was at for 14 years was bought by Black Knight then BK was bought by ICE and ICE didn't want to bother with the small office that wasn't in the same state. 17 years. Feel good you only lost 5.
They say "We're one big familly" when they need you, when they don't they discard you like a broken tooth. My advice is to work the minimum not get fired and to do something for yourself in the meantime.
You're just a number on a spreadsheet. I was laid off recently after 25 years with the company (through many acquisitions, mergers, splits, etc.), but they hired cheaper engineers in India to replace US people.
I stopped being loyal YEARS ago!!! In all honesty in any time I could get over I would. I have literally worked 60 hour weeks and got laid off for my efforts.
Set you boundaries and live your life. Do you job well, but do not bend over backwards. Companies will not think twice about cutting almost anyone in the name of increased profit/share price.
Loyalty does not exist in any business environment. Everyone is disposable. Don't matter how much you've contributed to the success of a company, once they deemed you make too much and they need to keep their budget at a certain point, you can bet your bottom dollar, as you clearly stated, they "laid you off". The only loyalty, you should have is to yourself and not a corporation. Best way to go about this, you put your time in for what they pay you and clock out. No need to bend over backwards. I was once like you, worked extra hours, unpaid to show that they made the right decision of hiring me, only to be canned, just like you. No explanation, whatsoever.
The USA really could use an I.T. Worker‘s union.
Tech jobs are the most thankless jobs on the planet nothing even close! You need a ton of knowledge and respect is no where in sight. I would tell any kid learn A trade stay clear of this field. I worked it over 40 years started on IBM mainframes.
In 2025 under TRUMP -- > nothing is guaranteed. Clearly, at least 50% of the population has no morality.
Therefore, you can't expect much
It's only earned if you're a "in" politically. These corporate jobs nowadays are like being back in high school. Hard work and loyalty aren't rewarded. Just do your job well, keep your head down and eyes and ears open. The corpos aren't your friends; they will backstab you at a moment's notice.
Nobody is on track to retire from the place they work today and honestly I’m okay with that
This is part of the problem. They hoard their Knowledge and try to push out those who are enthusiastic about learning and actually getting things done. I guess I did not get the memo that things need to be dragged out and screwed up all the time for longevity. While I appreciate that those who came before me can bridge some gaps they turned out to be stumbling blocks slow walking knowledge as if I was not competent enough to get the job done with the morsel of info they provided bc no training was provided and their previous projects were littered with defects and stakeholder pushback. Managements wat around them was to change up IT teams every year instead of actually fixing the problem or just move any way who wanted to operate efficiently. Sadly the phrase nobody ever gets fired from this department les me to resign from what I thought was my dream role.
