Don't be loyal to these guys - Recensione dipendente - Sr. Information Specialist presso Alcon

If they decide to lay you off and your severance will be substantial, they will just make up a reason to fire you instead. Then they tell companies where you apply that they would not rehire you, which just adds insult to injury. Personal relationships figure into advancement way more than knowledge, effort, and results do, so make sure you socialize with your superiors. Be cold to your peers, though, or you may find yourself the subject of an unpleasant discussion.
