People who give a shit always get burned. Being too emotionally invested with your employer, as an ordinary salaried employee with a bounded upside, is basically a modern day mental illness.
I once worked for a guy who who literally destroyed his company because his wife wanted a bigger house. He put the companies finances in a precarious position by sucking out capital at the wrong time and 8 people (the entire company) lost their jobs.
I've worked at a company where the team wasn't hiring (no budget), but suddenly one of the department heads old mates gets hired. A month later someone else on the team gets laid off for no apparent reason. Dead mans boots.
I've worked at companies where non-compete clause's were weaponised. They'd be enforced for long enough to torpedo any competing offers (which you're required to disclose on resigning) and then released, leaving you unemployed without support.
