6. That makes sense -- I've been much too nice over the years

It's all about total lack of concern for the other party, because clearly the other party has no concern for their workers.

On a side note... it's like... There is this guy at work who got hired a year after me, I taught him every single aspect of his job, on top of my own job. I mean everything he did I spent grueling years teaching him. He claimed to know all this stuff but he is missing the part of his brain that cares. My job was already more advanced than his, nevertheless I had to help him every single day perform basic job tasks. Well now he's getting laid off, a big severance check, vacation pay, and just got a job that pays 25% more. And then I found out he was already making 25% more than me, while I was basically doing his work, for 5 years -- on top of my own -- 5 years my employer has been reaming me and I've been staying under the context of respect for them! Thing is, I'm focused on hard work and technical skills, not fakery... but lies and deception get in the way of the work I do, but they certainly do pay off. I really need to stop being sympathetic. I've been such a fool.
