Let's stop mincing words here.

You want me because I have a particular set of skills that you think will be helpful to you in your pursuit of profit.

I want your job because I can leverage the skills I have for money and benefits that will provide food, and shelter.

Your main concerns are profits.

My main concerns are survival.

Employment is where these things meet in the middle. Let's not pretend that we're here because we're friends. We are not family. Fuck you, pay me.

Short version. My boss pays me enough so I don't quit, and I work hard enough so he doesn't fire me.

Unfortunately, many companies don't care about PR anymore. In the past, some would try to appear "we are family" to retain employees. Now it is everyone for themselves.

Nope. Rule of acquisition 111. They claim that everyone is part of a happy family because family is easiest to exploit.
