But even at a large insurance company in Hartford, Connecticut it was like that in 1986. The company, in in-house HR films, was one big family, that you were becoming part of the day that you were hired. The company was going to « be there » for you, if you had any problem. And by consequence, you should seriously consider « giving a little extra » to the company. I remember the day my boss, after 26 years of service, was sent home as part of a massive layoff, because the CEO had bet big on real estate investment, and lost billions. The CEO remained, and my boss was gone. My area was merged with another.
