We are in post-competition capitalism. Even if the alternative isn’t owned by the same parent company, they will do the same bullshit.
Oligopolies baby! Ask any Canadian.

What bullshit is that? Not giving you a discount just because you already buy from them?
Customer: I’m never coming here again!
Me (internally): that’s very kind of you
The worst part is, corporations treat their own employees with the no loyalty mindset. The idea of finding one good company and getting raises and a pension out of them is pretty much dead.
Yet they say: We’Re LiKe FaMiLy
That is why I hope that people start unionising more and start switching jobs more regularly. The increased turnover should mean that companies try to retain employees for the sake of projects not being constantly delayed. I also hope that this also leads to more people starting their own businesses and competing with their former employers both in employing terms (by having better work conditions) and eventually consumer loyalty.

I wonder how much of this mindset comes from dealing with local/smaller and more humane businesses which actually gave a damn about people
