Oh yes. It's dog eat dog but among very lazy privileged dogs.
Don't confuse business with a humane enterprise. It operates according to a vague informal internal calculus, has little loyalty to staff or communities and will happily eat skilled, conscientious contributors. The utopian stuff about being intelligent and progressive is hyperbole; a side effect of a privileged class of the labor sector for 50 years for the simple reason of growth. Morals and ethics are after-thoughts. Communitas is to the FAANG nothing more than growth. As smart as this class thinks it is, it will wither and die when the corp welfare dries up.
Wtf are you talking about “priveleged”?
Many people worked day and night to become a well paid engineer. And some rich founders of companies still do, coming from nothing.
