Don't EVER give your loyalty to a company or person at the company. Go in - do the job they pay you to do - go home - don't think about them until next time. Joke, laugh, share (sparingly) - but remember - they are SITUATIONAL FRIENDS. They won't think about you at all once you are no longer working there. When push comes to shove - you will always be tossed away. I worked unemployment during covid - that is not a one off story, but a continuous thread of how people who had worked for decades and thought their bosses were their friends were treated. Your loyalty extends only as far as what is right and just - which means doing the job you're there to do and not compromising your moral values for their processes.

Did Blizzard/Kotick stay true to their "family" even if it benefited them not to? (To add insult to injury Blizzard promptly listed ads for some of the very jobs they just cut.)

I’m not saying you’re wrong. But, it’s really neither. It’s a mutual exchange. If you go to a restaurant you either pay first or eat first, depending on the establishment. Fast food restaurants typically charge up front, whereas in formal dining restaurants have an incentive to charge after (for tipping services and such). Legally, they can charge up front if they choose to, but they want their guest to feel welcomed and comfortable in hopes of gaining the business of their guests. If you go to department store, you can not leave without paying. Though you hold it in your hands, until it is paid for, it isn’t yours, since technically you are in the store (or on the property) and are just carrying it around while it still belongs to the store.

Clearly most companies see loyalty as a one-way street. Thanks for the video, and your other videos, too!

[@naswinger]

it's not a conflict of interest to have more than one source of income, be it a job or a side hustle or whatever. i get paid for x number of hours. what i do with the rest of my time is none of their business.

[@happylistener4628]

Red Flag. Run!. Bad employer!.

[@FrontPageFinance]

Loyalty to a company is such a joke. Companies don't have any loyalty to their employees and no employee should have loyalty to their employer. They're not your friend!

[@jameswhitmire716]

Crap only flows downhill. Ethics only flows uphill.

[@ZombieCSSTutorials]

What about a corporation is worthy of loyalty? Just yesterday someone got fired from where I work for being late too many times (understandable). My supervisor walked up and said to the group and, as always, to not let them in the building, they are now a security risk. One minute they're "like family", next minute they're treated like a criminal. How could anyone rationalize loyalty to the draconian system known as the corporate workplace?

[@SillverBel]

Every video that Josh exposes ends up hiding their likes and comments. Hmmm.. Now that's corporate transparency! :D

[@johnpenguin9188]

I’ll be “loyal” inasmuch as the paycheck is big.

[@cyberneticqualanaut7207]

How many executives underpay ... and yet that never is discussed as a moral issue. Yet an employee taking some time to check up on their lives is "stealing".

[@thedronescene7474]

For the last time I told my boss I wont return to the office ( in a polite email ) he immediately called me and started telling me how my email was about myself and for my benefit and 0 for the company or culture. I was unable to hold back and said “ I work for money, not for company culture, My work is getting done more efficiently and faster at home than at an office! Are you going to pay for my 3 hour daily commute? I am going to get hourly compensated for that commute + gas, car repair and depreciation costs? No? Ok then I remain at home and will continue working from home. He had no answer, just said ok we will get back to you. Yep I know what that means lol! I will probably get fired next paycheck but whatever.

[@RandomDarter]

It's like these CEOs got a glance at the playbook the cult I was raised in uses. They subtly encourage parents to regard their children as property and tools, to be trained to be perfectly obedient. Loyalty meant being willing to do literally anything the leaders said without question. My dad told me once, not just with a straight face but with conviction, that we should be willing to give up home, property, family, and even our life should the leaders say the word. Total devotion and denial of self interest, absolute obedience. This, while also telling us that Christ is THE example to follow, who championed free will in opposition to their devil, who is is supposed to have said "I will make them be perfect, and the glory shall be mine", or something to that effect. Basically, these.....people ....preach mightily and loudly about their virtue because they believe that Jesus saved us, and that they represent him, all while treating their children like property and using peoples belief to extract value from them for free. This corporate nonsense is not really surprising. The religions that have controlled people for centuries have programmed and primed people to be slaves in this way.

[@OracleSummon]

“loyalty shows respect, it is not what you get out of something.” So when does the boss show me loyalty?

[@ElenaSemanova]

Just imagine your partner would be telling you these things. Super unhealthy relationship, right? But when company does that, it's okay? Lol :D

[@Tamara-ju3lh]

It does come across as super abusive! I would never talk to my boyfriend this way. And if he talked to me that way I'd leave.

[@Dzanarika1]

Do not ever settle for an abusive relationship or environment, NEVER.

[@kentfrederick8929]

My middle school principal demanded loyalty. If you didn't wear school colors on Friday, he would glare at you. I knew kids who got called to his office, after a pep rally, for not cheering hard enough. They had to write essays on the importance of school spirit. Oh, he served in the Marine Corp during WWII. Need I say more? I remember seeing him at the hardware store, when I was in law school. I stood up straight, out of fear of his reprimanding me for slouching.

[@bluesteel1]

Forget corporate loyalty .. are Corporates Loyal themselves? At this point most employees are basically living like mercenaries ie disposable resources ... You work your hardest 9-5 and suddenly get terminated for no proper reason ... Not to mention the crumbs they call wages ...

[@mushroomsteve]

This is what the erosion of labor unions has gotten us. Employees have no power bargaining individually. Collectively, they can negotiate fairly.

[@joshuamatthews238]

The more they pay employees, the less profit they will be left with. It's a disgrace but this is the reality. Best thing is to have an in demand skill wherein if you got hired, you're harder to replace and therefore more valuable and can command higher pay. Any job where you're easily replaceable will not earn you much respect, let alone money. I speak from experience.

[@bluesteel1]

@@joshuamatthews238 employees are not things joshua ... im not asking for absolute job security ... Just a little bit of loyalty .... Reskilling takes time .. and corporates prefer to hire fresh graduates rather than expend money in retraining existing Employees .... not everyone can get jobs in trending skills ... you cant just leave the remaining employees to the wayside ..... i just think execs and managers are ruining corporate ... Its not fair that a manager draws such a high salary they dont even know what their doing most of the time especially in tech ....

[@KO-im6sm]

Sounds like a dictatorship

[@milosCivejovidar]

Employment is a form of relationship, and only healthy form of it is when both of the parties are equally benefiting. A company that is obsessed with loyalty is obviously hiding something, either low compensations or garbage internal culture. I have seen and heard so many stories of individuals leaving companies and starting their own businesses based on experience from previous employment, and flourishing from that because they had the freedom and creativity to do things the right way for themselves.

[@mf_01]

Making this before I watch the video. I am an engineering college student and just a couple months ago I went to a talk pretty much about how corporate loyalty is dead, it's fine to jump between a few jobs in your first few years, and being super loyal to an employer is kinda dumb because they probably won't hesitate to lay you off if they need to.

[@ThePorschefan]

When I was learning finance, it shocked me that when you appoint a new C-suite executive, you give them stock based compensation TO ALIGN HIS INTERESTS WITH THE COMPANY'S INTEREST So basically employees have to be loyal for having a job but for executives is not enough a 200k salary to be professional & act in the company's best interest, they also need shares lol

[@davidevans7477]

Because they are the ones that can end a company easier. It is basically don't hurt me money. That is the way I see it. Normal grunts can't do much of any damage, and it takes multiple together to even afford a lawyer for a lawsuit.

[@sankalparora9374]

This video ( the one on which Josh commented ) is the funniest way to F*** someone up. The music at the background calms us when in reality, it is the most f***ed up things you could hear. Josh thinks critically, so he could see what is going wrong. Many people see the cartoons, and music and all and gets into what has been sold. Thanks Josh.

[@dehartfamily3091]

Joshua, I am giving my two weeks notice this Monday. I’ve been an IT Swiss army Knife for a manufacturer for 12 years. Official I am a Business systems analyst, and have had a hand in every process improvement in the company since I started. The company was purchased in 2018, by a company now treating us like a salvage yard. I have been run into the ground with not enough compensation, two years no review no raise. I am treated with little respect even though all IT staff, even my so called CIO, come to me to solve problems. Your videos helped me get over the “loyalty” bullshit I have been carrying around like a rock in my guts. I owe them NOTHING. I owe you a thank you. Keep saving employees - one shitty corporation at a time.

[@aliannarodriguez1581]

Let me guess, your company was bought by an investment firm. The latter have wrecked more companies…. And they are notorious for treating even the most highly skilled employees like garbage because all the see is money coming in and money going out, and they have no concept of the business itself. My advice to anyone whose company gets bought by an investment firm is to get out as fast as you can.

[@retrofraction]

Loyalty doesn’t stop outsourcing :(

They look out for the company/themselves, YOU have to, it is your responsibility, to look out for yourself!

[@Templar451]

Here's the lowdown on Corp America. My Dad worked corporate jobs from the late 50s to the mid 80s. I was raised on the "work hard to get ahead", "Show your worth by going above and beyond". That changed over time. By the time my dad retired he told me corporate America had changed drastically for the worse. He told me to think of myself as a CEO of my own company (myself and my family). Getting a job was no more than a business arrangement, not even a contract. I would be selling my time and labor for money. The arrangement should last only as long as it benefited my company or a better deal came along. If that happened, immediately start an arrangement with another company. My loyalty was to my company and stockholders (myself and my family) and the other company deserved none as they were only interested in their own company, not you. The instant you were not seen as valuable to keep, you were gone in an instant. Anything a company employee, boss, CEO told me was to be believed as much as a politician campaign promise. Unless it's in writing, it's a lie. It took me a while to reprogram myself but now I see how it truly is. You should put as much loyalty and faith in a company as you would a parachute bought at Dollar General....
