It is amazing that. You pour your life and soul into something, taking pride in seeing your work flourish... only for them to slap you in the face like that whilst making it clear that despite the "we're a family, so please do your best" rhetoric, it does not extend both ways.

And for what? Because their share price wasn't going up as much as they wanted, despite the company being profitable for decades? I'm sick of shareholders wants hollowing out the hard work that loyal employees generated for them

The system doesn’t care if sociopaths exploit it; there is no empathy line item in capitalism.
