    technically you can be rewarded. entirely depends on the culture though.

    I worked my ass off for years, made myself invaluable to the company and was integral to the daily operations of the entire business.

    I was like a tumor, and nobody could take my place.

    muahahahha

      Do you truly have any idea how many people believe there are “irreplaceable”?

      Just to get laid off by the man in the suit?

        I’m not disillusioned on how fragile a job is, I’ve been at this far too long not to have seen or experienced it.

        should I be “laid off by the man in the suit”, it’s not the end of the world for me. their business would continue to operate, I would collect unemployment.

        cracks would slowly start to form at first, then within 6-8 months it would spiral into a mess.

        🤷 probably not the attitude you expected but life is too short to care.

        point is, the best you can hope for these days is to be the “last man running”.
