Had a friend laid off and saw his job posted not a month later (with the stereotypical #hiring LinkedIn corpojargon). Many employees make a big hubbub of the org being employee-centric, people driven, blah blah blah. I almost joined their org because of how my friend talked it up last year. Despicable. |

It never is. If anything, tech corporations that have been hot startups two decades ago are shedding their larval teletubby skin and transform from sheltered colorful environments suited for men-children into... well, just your average run-of-the-mill ruthless capitalist businesses your boomer parents/grandparents know and loathe.
The thing is, if they mention they are people-driven casually, they likely know the notion — you can expect some respect for employee rights (provided you do your own homework, can haggle like a used car salesperson, and can tell decision makers from HR personnel); if they emphasise it so much it reminds you of a cult, or if they don't mention it at all, but are instead brimming with descriptions of the company's grandeur, run — if you have anywhere to run these days.
