I think I have shown gratitude to all my employers. They have invariably treated me well, and I believe the relationships were mutually beneficial.

If you do not feel gratitude to your employer I suggest you find a different one. If you cannot find such an employer over an extended time frame, perhaps the problem is you.

I disagree.

You can feel a job has been worthwhile, lucrative, satisfying… (mutually beneficial)

But feeling gratitude to an _entity_ that puts profits before your well-being is misplaced. Maybe there are exceptions, but not in big tech.

I've only worked for one big tech(ish) company (Elastic). They have treated me fantastically and I'm grateful.

Mostly I choose to work for small companies, getting reimbursed in job satisfaction and work-life balance rather than a big paycheck.
