CX - morally bankrupt!
Our benevolent train set owner has some funny ideas on employer magnanimity!
How about - you are a based female FO who commits the crime of getting pregnant. You are forced to live in the headland hotel for months so that you can work in the HKG office rather than work/have time off where you choose to base!
How about offering to help out in sims and being told that yes you can but only on the half pay you are already receiving for being on long term sick leave.
How about those selfish types who get cancer and stop being as productive! A mate of mine flew almost 650hours last year - but being selfish he got cancer and couldn't work for almost 100 days so his profit share was reduced accordingly. So he got within 8% of the average annual hours for pilots but had his profit share reduced by double that percentage!
Its funny how CX sticks to the contract when it comes to giving but expects us to give more than what our contract states. Still when you are morally bankrupt it all makes sense. Still one advantage of being morally bankrupt is that they can all hold their farewell parties in the same phone box on the same day!

No point...I guess I am old school and still think that sometimes you have to think beyond the profit motive. Still thats why I sit in the front of a plane and not in a board room! My post was so that potential new joiners realise what an amoral employer CX is! Forewarned is forearmed!

Heard a nice phrase a couple of years ago about this, as with a sigh a guy who had just been shafted on a personnel issue said, "Ahh, they are as usual striving for the moral low ground."
Good point.
