Should YOU Be Loyal to Your Company? Hard Truths About Work
Sunday, 2 November, 2025
Are companies loyal to you—or just to shareholders? In this episode of Work Trauma: How Corporations Really Work, we unpack the hard truths about corporate loyalty, layoffs, and why “job security” is more myth than reality. You’ll learn how to reframe your employment as a fair, reciprocal transaction—results for pay—without burning out or being exploited. We dig into real-world stories (layoff scripts, brand-loyalty pressure, “go above & beyond” abuse) and translate them into practical career strategy: document impact, negotiate compensation, keep your résumé current, and align with leaders who foster healthy culture. Walk away with a clear checklist of what to expect from employers—fair pay, healthy environment, growth, impact—and what they should expect from you.
