[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently started doing some consulting for a tech firm after spending most of my career in academia and government and the contrast is unreal!  [b]They literally threaten to fire us EVERY SINGLE DAY.  [/b]I don't think anyone ever threatened to fire me at the university or in government.  It's truly bizarre and unhinged. To me it's odd because there's literally no respect for anyone's qualifications or skills -- instead there seems to be this attitude like "We can just throw you back and get someone else to do that job."  That's what scares me, I suppose.  Is this truly the future of work in America?

There was this one ass at Dept of State who would always tell us how many people took the foreign service exam every  year and be like "We could find another 100,000 people who would kill to have your job" but he was an exception.  This seems more like the default in tech -- like "we'll just get rid of you and get someone else."[/quote]

I work in tech, leadership role. At every single leadership meeting, the CEO of our part of the company literally picks someone to humiliate and berate and threatens to fire them. Sometimes it's more than one person.
