Is the "Company Man" culture dead?

Spin-off from another thread about not taking PTO.
When I grew up people took pride in being a "company man". That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.
All I have to say, "do your duty".

I have as much loyalty as companies do
Which is to say not much if any

That died when they started shifting jobs oversees.

I "retired" from my original job to take a less stressful position at another hospital. After 36 years, I didn't get a thank you for your service, zero recognition from the hospital, like I didn't even exist there.. Made me realize how much easier it was for me to leave seeing how much they really appreciated me..
Companies today don't give a shite about you...

I think they still exist to a certain extent in the world of local/independently owned businesses and companies where employees can know their owners and executives on a personal level and feel like they have some skin in the game.
As far as bigger ones go I think most people have a realization that they’re just a number on the payroll and will most likely never be anything more than that so they show up, do the job they’re paid to do to the best of their ability, and leave work in the parking lot at the end of the day.

It’s been dead for decades.

Yes.
It's a 2 way street. Companies no longer have pensions and will let you go at the drop of a hat no matter how productive you are just to make a few shareholders happy.
Im sure there's some decent companies where this is possible but its no longer normal.

That is mostly over. Many larger companies like turnover.

I am a company man but I know my work doesn’t give me any respect or perks for it
I’m just that way out of a pure sense of personal pride. If they fire me I’ll go be loyal to someone else. Don’t begrudge people for not being that way

It's still common in Japan. A lot of those "salarymen" get hired on after they graduate college and stay at the same company until they retire.
My cousin has worked for Acadian Ambulance since he turned 23. It's an employee owned company and he gets dividends from it. The value of it will be close to a million when he retires.

Always put yourself and your family first, because companies always put themselves first, you are always expendable.

Depends on the company. Many privately owned companies show great loyalty and respect to their employees. Especially companies where the owner(s) still actively run it. The bigger the company the more you can bet that this is not true

I was a “company man” until I realized that they don’t give a frick about you and you’re just a number.
Eta that statement is based on previous employment. My current employer is fantastic.

You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

You mean when they had a fat pension waiting for them? Shocker.
