I don't trust any bosses or business owners now. After three different jobs where they profess to care about workers as "family" then proceed to lay off those people, I don't care. The job is only there to make the CEO rich.

   You see this very much from an employee perspective. Someone has to pay for your salary. If you are not ROI positive then they to let you go.

   Yup. Don’t trust. It is a stereotype blah blah every one at the top talks about. Look at how generously they talk about “integrity, sorrounding with smart people, and servant leadership”. They say that only after climbing the ladder or becoming a celebrity.

   While that’s true, you are not without options. Negotiate with them if you are in a position for equity. If not start your own biz.

   Remember entrepreneurship is all about getting the dollar from the prospective client for providing a value (product or service). In the end it is all about $s.

   If nobody is incentivized, science math and etc would not progress. We would be status quo. As such greed (corporate) is a must to solve real world problems and hence translate that to $s.

   It is the bottom line: even non profit orgs need $s to grow.

   So dont trust the bosses, but create your own path that makes sense.

   Cheers

   It’s dishonest. They hired you because you where qualified, and they thought they could make money on you. If not, they would have left you jobless. I personally avoid these manipulative environments.
