correct.

>'the org' will NOT protect me. So why would you put org before you?

This kind of thinking. . . would you set off on a horseback ride and NOT feed your horse?



This is not a zero sum game.

You can be a team player in order to make your life easier and others that work with you. But laying down all of your cards on the table leaves you vulnerable to exploitation by less scrupulous people.

What I was critisising was a view that you as a worker should think of the wellbing of organisation first and foremost. Its a slippery slope that can lead to harmful outcomes for the individuals.


That depends on whether the horse likes me or not. I would rather ride a donkey though, temperament means the org is opinionated and has some values and goals.

I would defend my current company because I have relations to the people working there that make up the company as a whole. If you expect blind obedience, I probably would leave for another company.
