Loyalty is a two-way street.
“Loyalty is a two-way street.”
Exactly. Employers do not provide work environments most people even care for. Maybe the older generations are suckers? I have no doubt we have raised generations of spoiled brats but we can’t lay all the blame on those generations for the lousy work environments and compensation packages.
Exactly. Companies will cut them loose in a heartbeat so why should they be loyal? Times have changed.
Exactly, I’ve been working about 20 years now, and every employer wants your loyalty, and nearly every one I have ever worked for or with has no qualms cutting folks lose in a heartbeat, 25 years of dedication doesn’t matter.. here meet mr H1B now train him to replace you and have fun finding a job at 60.
They days where Loyalty was given and expected, and to be disloyal to your employer was a major ordeal. Today, loyalty is a mouthpiece word from employers, it is not given but they give it lip service.
In today’s economy and work environment, the only person you need to be loyal to is yourself.. if that loyalty coincides with your employers, great, if it doesn’t you have to look out for yourself at all times first.
Sad but true fact of life.
Exactly, I have no loyalty to those that have none to me. Get everything in writing up front, including the severance package.
