    Some companies actively disincentivize liking the company on a basic level. Outsourcing firms tend to heavily be that way.

      Working in outsourcing is basically biding your time in-between jobs where you actually do shit. You either start there and go elsewhere as soon as you get a portfolio strong enough to get noticed or go back because you need money and this cool startup fell apart. Most of the time - the outsourcing company is not even about software development or anything - it’s just money laundering where folks do some basic apps so it seems legit but it is just to move money in-between offshore accounts. Because of that there is almost an informal agreement that we’re all there from paycheck to paycheck until something better comes up so any time someone who actually wants to work shows up and starts making noise - it’s not good.
