This person is a dumbass. A very huge and very wrong dumbass.

This advice will steer your very, very poorly indeed. But it’s a common misperception of reality due to many people’s lack of ability to understand that coherent abstractions behave differently and can have completely divergent priorities from any of the people of which they are composed. Admittedly, this is a difficult concept to wrap one’s head around. But it is vital to not being an enormous dumbass about how reality and our sociocultural system works.

A company is a real thing, however. And it does not care about you. It does not have your best interests at heart except where they coincidentally align with its own goals. It does not love you and does not know about you at all. To a company, you are merely a part, and a replaceable (and disposable) one at that.

What the Reddit poster above is claiming is like saying there is no “human.” You’re just a bunch of cells that want to metabolize ATP and eliminate waste. This contention is exactly as ridiculous as what that Reddit doofus is claiming. And yet, many people do think that poorly. I feel sorry for their wasted brains.
