The days of #hustleharder ended long ago. You might even work for multiple companies.It wasn’t always this way, though. Elder generations tout the benefits of sticking with one employer. (Of course, they often gloss over the disappearance of pensions, which helped keep people at the same company for decades.)Business Insider’s Aki Ito, who has covered workplace trends better than anyone, dove into the deterioration of loyalty in corporate America. She uncovered the breaking of the psychological contract between employer and employee: There isn’t a shared understanding of expectations, leading each to believe they’re getting a raw deal.The employer-employee relationship first started breaking down with the rise of globalization. Corporations, fearing overseas competition, started viewing their workers more transactionally.More recently, employees have gained power from the rise of quiet quitting, job hopping, and workers’ reluctance to return to the office.The resulting environment is one where loyalty is in short supply, and both sides are at odds.The best example of the deterioration of loyalty in corporate America these days is in Big Tech.Many Americans became disillusioned with their employers long ago, but tech was an outlier. Workers enjoyed healthy perks, a strong culture, and eye-popping compensation packages.Cracks in the foundation formed early last year when many tech companies made deep cuts for the first time. The layoffs left some blindsided. But others couched it as a one-off event due to pandemic overhiring and tough economic conditions.One year later, Big Tech’s layoffs are back and could become the new normal, Business Insider’s Peter Kafka writes.Instagram is cutting a management level, and employees at parent company Meta are bracing for similar reductions, BI’s Kali Hays reports.Amazon has made layoffs across several divisions, including Audible, Prime Video, and Amazon MGM Studios. Some employees fear the cuts could be even deeper via “quiet firing” tactics, BI’s Eugene Kim and Ashley Stewart report.However, the best representation of the growing employee-employer chasm in Big Tech is at Google. Long considered tech’s gold standard, the company had a rough 2023 that left insiders feeling like its culture had been destroyed.This month, Google laid off hundreds of employees across teams, from advertising sales to central engineering. CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly said in an internal memo that there will be more “role eliminations” throughout the year to remove “layers to simplify execution and drive velocity in some areas.”In response, some Google employees are fighting back against their “glassy-eyed leaders” organizing protests, BI’s Hasan Chowdhury writes.”They can fire you any time (and will, if it’s the business interest) and you do the same and leave any time (when it’s your personal interest),” Gergely Orosz, a software engineer and tech commentator, wrote on X. “Forget ‘loyalty’ or ‘commitment’ both ways.”Your Monday headline catchupA quick recap of the top news from over the weekend:3 things in marketsOsakaWayne Studios1.
