Many sinkies have the illusion of job security if they work in a big corpseration. They may have grown up but mentally is still like a child desiring security by having a big parent to suck milk from.
Some sinkies think their self-esteem & self-worth is boosted by having a 'strong corporate father/mother'. They feel good hiding behind a big 'corpse' despite the job being soul-crushing.
I find it hard to understand people with spendthrift ways. Even if the big corporate parent is doing well, it doesn't mean their paychecks are still in the pipeline.
Many people have misplaced their loyalty especially to big corpse-rations thinking the 'big corpses' will eventually reward them. In this day & age, is wiser to be loyal to a bunch of good friends. In times of need, it is your good friends who are likely to lend a helping hand than the big corporate parent.
