> Fortune 500's and FAANGs, as large organizations, generally shift towards exploitive, or at the least, behaviors lacking the reciprocity expected

1. What could be causing that?

2. What are the chances of this same behavior happening at a Fortune 500000?

3. How would an employee detect that behavior, potentially as early as when interviewing for the job?

1. The first paper's rationale, is: "agents/entities with less power may not feel free to decline the more powerful agent/entity's request". The second paper would probably argue that "the diffuse nature of large organizations reduces reciprocation so it's lack becomes normalized" (my paraphrase).

2. The second paper would probably say lower. Closer to a small friend / family group, with more obvious reciprocal behavior.

3. Maybe if they ask you to do a bunch of weird stuff on the interview? Give you a bunch of homework that feels like "off the clock time". I donno. With the second, only that maybe it all feels super hands-off in hiring, like you're just being handed to someone.
