As a 20+ year MegaCorp 'resource', I find that as my stash has grown, I sometimes encounter behavior at MegaCorp that creates ambivalent feelings.
First, as one of the many thousands of faceless cogs in the machine, I have the same kind of emotional reaction as everyone else. Feeling slighted by the corporate masters, unappreciated, resentful, etc.
Then, upon further reflection, I realize that as a member of the 'invested class', I am, in effect, more 'capital' than 'labor'. I find that I can somewhat view things from the other side and with a little detachment.
The cold hard fact is that businesses exist to make a profit. The people who run corporations, in particular, have an obligation to maximize that profit (within the bounds of law and ethics). This means, in part, that they will do everything they can to minimize the costs of producing whatever it is that they produce. Those costs are largely the costs of employing (and insuring) people like me. And when there are thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of employees, it becomes much more difficult to treat the wonderful, talented, dedicated people like me any differently than the 'average' employee in MegaCorp. Ever given much thought about how much value the 'average' employee is adding at a large corporation?
It's kind of a "don't blame the player, blame the game" situation. The game is capitalism.
While I remain employed at MegaCorp, I expect to have these 'Red Stapler' moments* that make me grit my teeth and silently curse my corporate overlords. But I also recognize that this is just fuel for the FIRE fire. I'm (hopefully) just a few years away from the end of my indentured servitude. And when I'm living off of my 4% (or 3%, or 5%) I'm going to be expecting the many companies of which I own a little piece to maximize their profits and minimize their costs. I hope they do it fairly and ethically and responsibly, but I realize that sometimes that is in the eye of the beholder and very much can depend on your perspective.
