Different people have different priorities when it comes to choosing a place to work. For some, a stable and secure company like Google might be the best option, while others might prefer a more dynamic and fast-growing company like Waze. It really depends on what you're looking for in a job. I know that I had periods in my life when I would prioritise one over the other and vice-versa.
The biggest problem arises when a workplace has a mix of employees who have different motivations and goals. Some may be content with just doing their job and going home, while others may be ambitious and want to do great things. This can lead to resentment and hostility when these different perspectives clash. It's the role of the HR department and recruitment to make sure you don't get too many outliers in any direction, but alas those are often doing really poor job with this. Not to mention that the quality of "being a good fit" has been branded "problematic" so it's often not even taken into account.
As the economy moves from a period of growth to a recession, the balance of motivations and goals among employees is likely to shift. And the amount of entitlement will reduce.
