Exactly. Employers try to convince you that your loyalty is important to them, right up until they decide they don’t need you anymore or they can find your labor cheaper. It only makes sense to return that level of loyalty to them. As long as they offer the most bucks, I’ll give them the best work I can.

I'm an employer and loyalty is *EXTREMELY* important to me. In fact, I consider it to be a big revenue generator.

"loyalty...important"

I agree if you are a small-business owner. I would say that the larger the business, especially corporations, loyalty is not a prerogative. I worked for a fortune 500 corp, and was booted out after 19 years. I was loyal, but my talents were deemed not needed. That's life. But my loyalty to the corp. played no part in their decision.In fact, I had a friend who was a manager. She used to chide me about my less than super love for my job and the corp we worked for. I told her that we'd both be gone in five years (the handwriting was on the wall), and she was gone before I was. We were both terminated. Again, that's business, but loyalty had no determination on who stayed and who got booted out.

Thanks for making my point. Loyalty is about people, not revenue.
