Switching cost is hidden. You wake up one day with security saying its the wild west, we need a pattern. You wake up one day with compliance saying its the wild west, we need a pattern. You wake up once day after a team is laid off, with the new team saying 'don't know how to maintain.'

It is only ‘not really how it works’ if people continue to work for firms they don’t want to work for because whatever. Am not suggesting protest quitting. If when you look in the mirror each morning, decide if you are working for the right place. If the answer is no, start taking steps to leave.
