[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Yes, I quite agree with your observations. Though I do see the older (seasoned?) employees being laid off where I work (a fortune 100 company).

When I mentioned business ethics, I meant that to go both ways. As you said, employees now view each job as a two-year stint, there for the money and the resume enhancer and will be gone with the next better deal.

Only a few decades back a man got a job (in the single-worker family model) and was fairly sure he'd be there for life. A combination of the lure of profits in the short term and a desire for a higher salary have broken down the trust and ethics of both sides of the employment agreement. It's a shame, really.

Well, it was a great discussion but I have to go do some work to build up my retirement now...
