re: There is absolutely no such thing as employer loyalty anymore

It always surprised me when people brag about being loyal to a company becuase they are “such a good company to work for”. No they aren’t, They suck, they all suck and they’ll all cut your throat at the drop of a hat. They don’t care about you or your loyalty so why would you care about them?

Not true.

Amen.
I told my (now former) boss that I didn't trust him or the company I worked for and that I was always going to look out for myself above everything else. I worked for a Fortune top 20 company-you're just a # to them.
Fortunately I was in a position recently (due to the stupidity of a former co-worker) to negotiate some equitable separation terms (non-repayment of signing bonus and relocation costs + several month's salary) and I walked out the door with the biggest smile on my face.
Always ALWAYS look after yourself first and do the right thing for you and your family. You can hope a company will treat you right but you can never expect them to.

As someone on the other side, I had to lay someone off a few weeks ago and it made me sick to do it. I still feel terrible about it. His old position didn't exist due to advances in technology. He was a loyal employee for a decade and had been through some hard times with the company. I tried to find other places to put him, but he wasn't any good at them. I kept him on payroll a year longer than I should have hoping that each new position I gave him might work out. I made sure he had a fair severance package to get him and his family through the holidays.
So frick you because some of us care a lot. It's cliche, but we're a family business and my employees are part of that family.
