are utterly void of any camaderie
Contrary to what all these companies claim in their internal propaganda, they are not your friends, they are not your family, and you are not even a person to them - you are just a human resource. Your work shouldn’t be your life or your way to “fulfill yourself” or “grow” (whatever the fuck that means). It is a way to obtain money so you can live your actual life. Never feel like you owe anything to a company.
Yup. At one point, I was loyal to a fault. Always in early, staying late, helping out when no one else would. Turns out none of that is as important as sales, so they taught the salesmen my job, and let me go a month before Christmas.
Haven’t put up with bullshit or given any extra since.

However, the individual friendships you made at the workplace are often real. Stay in touch with people you know, and help each other out.

Yes, I agree.

This. I’ve been laid off at the beginning of the month as well. Three of the four interview leads I have right now are through references from old colleagues I’ve enjoyed working with and never completely lost contact. All other companies I’ve applied to have either completely ghosted or rejected me pretty damn quickly lol
