I see it this way: you owe somewhat higher loyalty to your employer than you perceive they give you. The employer also owes somewhat higher loyalty to their employees than they perceive to give him/her. This is because perception is imperfect, and also a stable system implies there's a constant cooperative process of de-escalation of conflict from all parties involved. So sure, "don't leak company politics, and air your grievances" is apt for most companies. No matter how dumb you think your boss is, first you owe it to your colleagues who also rely on their job existing, and even to your dumb boss who is paying your salary and benefits. Plus you don't know all the battles your boss is fighting behind the scenes, and not telling you about so you can focus on your work in peace. That's how most companies work. But I said "somewhat higher than they give you". You see... everything has limits. Your new boss comes, puts the company on a debt spiral due to his leveraged buyout, fires people, rehires them, refires them, destroys most teams, shuts down critical services like 2FA and doesn't know how to turn them on, acts like a monkey clown in public to the shock of the entire world, launches features that destroy the credibility of the platform and the trust of its partners, leaks private information of employees, and provokes political unrest in the whole country, and so on and so on, ... and so on. And you can barely work, and he insist you sleep on the job and stay during weekends, while he's tweeting NSFW memes and stealing lame jokes from his cult followers. Yeah, f**k that shit, just leak it all online, and leave as soon as you get another job, Twitter's f**king gone in a few months either way, that's how I see it. |
