A colleague asked me if had slept well because I was so "disillusioned" when
talking about the relationship between companies and their employees.
No, it's just an experienced stoic speaking.
Businesses will always optimize for making money, this influences ALL decisions.
Have that in mind when you interact with a company and make sure to understand
what prime directives affect managers and what they in turn optimize for. It's
rarely their goal to make every individual employee happy.
Median happiness is what matters because that affects directly productivity.
This can leave a lot to desire for individual needs that are not shared by the
majority of employees.
For your personal happiness and health this is critical to understand because
it's hard to get what does not benefit the majority of the employees in the
organization.
