Right Now Are We Living In The Happiest Time Of Our Lives?

in life •  8 years ago 

I can relate (in a way) to what you are saying. Many years ago I used to work for (simply as an employee) a software development company. The Company was young but doing well. We were small in number but enjoying the work, the internal tight family feel.

Eventually with success came expansion = wagons of new employees
Eventually bigger publisher bought the Company... then another bigger fish bought that publisher, then again... :)

From a small group of developers, it became a sort of colder, corporate style life. No closeness. Colder internal relations.

Yes, bigger income. But it wasn't as much fun.

yeah I think this is the sentiment a lot of people feel when they have a company that grows larger. It turns from a family into a real business.

I think that 'corporate' feeling is because the big guys usually got there by dirty methods such as buying laws using lobbyists. There is definitely a factor of limiting scale in a true free market economy that keeps this from going away. That constant race for the next big thing is a big part of what makes it such an enjoyable and motivating experience.
