After being laid off a few times you start to understand it's all just a show - theater.

The young employees believe it entirely because they have never known any different.

The more experienced become more realistic about the way the entire system works.

Oh, I don't know. In my current and previous job I was, frankly, amazed at the ronin-like attitude openly expressed by those new, young hires. I was nowhere near this radicalized, when I started my first 'real' job. Management is in for a rather rude awakening.
