Cute that you believe this
Small companies vary widely in their morals. The best ones might indeed protect and teach, rather than exploit, a young worker. The worst ones . . . are worse than any large company, and you can't always tell from outside which type you've got. And family companies can be just as bad as any other small company, alas.
I am sure some employees of mega corps also happy with their treatment too
The point being is that it is an exception to the general savagery of "legal persons"
It's got to be stressful to be so cynical. I'm sorry.
Remember that this was YOUR family's company. Family businesses writ large definitely don't have a good reputation as far as their non-relative workers are concerned. At least with a megacorporation you can expect some guardrails that will limit their abuses.
i would not expect that tbh but yeah megacorps are serious about managing their liability, they will generally avoid crime unless they can get away with it.
most small biz owners are too stupid to understand liability so they just do as they please which is generally either a crime or breach of various civil laws and regulations.
Like the mega corporations that have children cleaning equipment at night in abattoirs?
At least I know who I am deal with and able to fight the good fight
It is a lot harder being fucked while living a delusion IMHO
You seem really dedicated to being miserable. That really sucks for you.
So much anger. It must really eat you up inside. I'm sorry that you're like this. It's got to be very stressful.
I'm sorry that you're so angry. I really feel sorry for you. I wish you were happy.
Pathetic
I hope you find a way to be happy.
I am happy right now tho
That's good. I hope you have a good day.
That's what it takes to make you happy? Thinking that you've hurt someone? That is a truly sad existance.
I hope you some day find a way to be happy.
You're projecting. I've been checking in with you between whipper snipping around my wife's gardens. I've spent the entire day outside in the sun under a clear blue sky and now I'm watching YouTube videos and having a cold drink.
You really are a sad, angry, pathetic person. I hope you eventually find happiness.
As long as you sleep well at night lol
I will sleep very well after I have a shower to wash off all the grass I've been touching all day.
I really am sorry that you're so angry and miserable.
I'm still touching grass. I'm touching so much grass that it clogged up my trimmer.
My son, whose report card I just got and found out that he made honour role, just came out to find me to show me a beautiful French rolling pin he made on the lathe. I just had to add string to my trimmer so I thought I would check in on how your rage is going. I see it's still going strong.
I hope that one day you can find real happiness like I have.
