Question is flawed. Both are important. However, the goal for all companies is to make money. Customers generate that. There are benefits to maintaining a happy workforce. Increase in productivity, higher retention etc. If your company doesn't value their employees, or treat you in that way, that means they don't care whether you're happy, just that you make money. If you don't, on to the next person. Not everyone wants to invest or knows how to invest into their own employees. Find a different job or speak with your leaders if you're looking for a correction on current behavior to something positive. Good luck.
I wasn't talking about what's moral. Wasn't even part of the conversation so not sure where "Well we don't need more evil companies" came from.
I agree with the other poster - the question isn’t mutually exclusive. Unfortunately a lot of companies act like it is - but there is absolutely a balance that can be struck between the two. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you feeling the balance is tipped in the wrong direction and maybe you should find somewhere that values you in the way you need as well.
Thanks for your inputs. Love hearing other people's perspective
