By far most organization do not care about you as an individual.

May it be work, government on various levels, special interest groups, you name it. You are just a single member and in the big picture they focus on their agenda first and foremost. Sometimes I have the impression the larger the organization the worst and unfair that is. With age I somehow keep shifting my interest and company more and more closer to family and friends, meaning the smaller the circle the better I feel about it.

For me it was this, generalized to "Ultimately, no one, nobody else, will be able to or willing to care about your best interests except yourself."

People, families, groups, systems and institutions act primarily through their own structures and in their own best interests, are able to forget, misinterpret or simply not care about what you want/need/desire/expect/(feel you) deserve from them, and can never care about you as an individual as much as you can care about yourself.

This can apply to small or big things. This even applies to formal, specific, contractual obligations others have to you. That's just paper. It can be at best ineffective to expect others to act in your (best) interest while you are not there supervising and understanding everything they are doing. Trust, but verify, and be ready to protest for and enforce your rights.

The world is full of minor and major bullshit many have given up on to change, to care about, or feel powerless to change anything about. If anything moves in this world it is through the stubbornness of dedicated individuals. Since you yourself have only limited time and energy, be ready to endure this bullshit which makes life seem insufferable and unfair.

Also, today's society has no effective mechanisms to punish misbehavior at small scales, and repeat offenders who move between communities.

I may have been childish, naive, too hopeful or entitled to expect otherwise, but nowadays I know that at any time, people or the universe can metaphorically say "fuck you, i don't owe you anything" and fuck your life and feelings over, regardless of how conscientiously or nice or supposedly selfless you acted. But so must you, if people expect more from you than you can and are willing to give, even if it hurts them, else they will drain your joy and energy and potential out of your life.

It's also important to recognize that corporations aren't a thing that can care about you in the same way an individual could. You're better off not thinking of them as having any form of central agency.

They evolve and change, we have to deal with it.
