"They are relying on me. If I mess up, I affect lives of 400 to 600 people. That keeps me awake."
This is something I heard many times. And the most of the time, companies with this motto are underpaying and don't give a proper wage to employees to make any passive income or any investment to become less depended on the job. And this motto becomes an excuse for overtime and workload in bad times. A professional work should not be responsible/aware of any daughter's wedding or personal loans. Developed countries have massive taxes to support you on unemployment. Risk of layoff must be part of your salary expectation. Young Startups always pay more than stable companies.
