      No one who thinks small businesses are great has ever worked for a small business owner.

      Small business and big business are both awful, just in different ways for workers

        Big businesses are machines designed to digest you and then spit you out into the street when all possible value has been extracted from you. Small businesses are torture devices with the sole goal of creating the most possible suffering agony-shivering

        Unfortunately not true lol, the brainworms are pervasive. Even people who've worked for both and had a worse time at the small business often hedge and say "well it sucked for me but..." or "I hate to say it but I'm better off at <megacorp>" Big businesses pretty much universally suck and people recognize it but small businesses afford them the opportunity to say "well there's good ones and bad ones" and "they're at least trying to do better for <their workers/the environment/customers>"
