    Capitalism offers a perverse incentive in this regard. I have no motive to keep the company healthy, only to get paid. Ensuring I can be replaced benefits the company while harming me.

      Professional integrity. Have you ever worked for a company that got screwed by a consultancy? Vendor lock in and charging scandalous amounts for little offer.

      You are paid for your skills and your time. If you’re confident in your ability and impact, you shouldn’t have to be worried.

      I’m not saying sacrifice for yourself for your company, and if they are a shitty company that would replace you with cheaper, get out, but also, giving nothing for the pay you get is a bit dishonest, and then you are no better than them.

      Plus, you make the case that hiring people is bad and paying a consultancy is less risky.

        Lmao fuck integrity I’m trying to make rent

        It’s not like the company has any integrity in their dealings, like when they lay off entire departments with no notice. One of my current coworkers worked for Dell for 17 years before being laid off. According to you, if she were confident in her abilities, she shouldn’t have worried.

        Companies don’t care about integrity. They don’t care about people. All companies would replace you with someone cheaper if they could. Why should we care about them?
