I have had 4 jobs in the last 10 years. I spent 7 years at one, 2 months at another, 6 months at the next, and then I've been at my current one over 2 years.

The first one cared about its employees if you got hurt or suffered a loss of a family member, but they absolutely didn't care about working you to the breaking point, and the work kept getting harder and harder and the pay didn't get better.

In the case of the middle 2 jobs, I was outright lied to about what I'd be doing and how I'd get paid. I stayed at those long enough to find other jobs.

In my current job, how I earned income and the job description was what I expected, but I've been underloaded constantly in favor of other people with the same job. I've been running a 25 percent loss the whole time I've been there.

In the first job, I was a high value asset. I made the company plenty of money in ways my peers didn't, and I worked the jobs no one else would. The next 2 jobs were obviously BS and not worth explaining. In my current job I documented the underloading (which is a punishable infraction according to company policy) and some changes were made, but they never amounted to what I was promised, and the underloading has continued to happen. Management, all the way up to the CEO is aware, and I'm documenting everything, but it's clear they just don't care about doing what is right.

I'm not sharing all that to gain sympathy for my sob story... I've just noticed employers don't give a shit about their people.

Are there institutions that actually have a culture of valuing their employees, or is everyone just adrift in an ocean of outfits that essentially see employees as disposable?
