If you listen to the lyrics of Born in the USA (or Glory Days for that matter), they don’t actually say good things about America. The first describes someone returning from the Vietnam war, and comes back to a dead end existence. The second is about people who peaked in high school. Tho apt in both cases, I don’t think that’s the message they would want to be putting out there, even if Springsteen allowed them to be used as MAGA anthems.

They are perfect MAGA anthems tho 😉

Yep. They’ll demand loyalty from you, but not return it. The second a new CEO arrives, they’ll want to show improvements on the bottom line. Fastest way to “save” money is to sack some people.

Unless you’re in sales, you are a line item in a cost centre. Your salary is a dollar value they can save if they get rid of you.

HR exists to protect the org, not the individual people in it.

If you’re looking for loyalty, get a dog.
