Emphasis mine
For those of you who are fans of management science, this shift can be characterized as moving away from an orientation on hierarchy and familial cultural norms and towards a more externally focused and competitive market-based culture. I understand that some of you may have started your tour with this company expecting an “employment deal” rooted in loyalty, tenure, and conformance with the associated compensation, work structure, and benefits. We have consciously shifted away from some of these elements and towards a more market-based culture — focused on rewarding capability, contribution, and commitment.
I’m really dreading my partner’s job doing this to her because we can’t move closer to their fucking office, she can’t commute 6 hours a day, and I really don’t know if she’s going to be able to find a decently paying job if they force her to quit
There’s also literally no fuckin reason for them to do this since her job can easily be done entirely online but woops when has that ever stopped these shitheads
