I've been with my current employer for a year and the higher ups regularly talked about being a family, blah blah blah. Last week my coworker, nice guy and incredibly smart, was laid off to save on costs. And that's it. He was with the company for 12 years and a valuable and reliable worker and not a second was paid to consider how much he impacted the company. It was just a reminder companies absolutely do not give a single shit about you. At all
