Listen, we live in the age of zero loyalty from employer to employee. I’ve always worked hard and tried to look out for my employer. This is a terribly foolish mindset and anyone who thinks their employer gives a shit about them is setting themselves up to get fucked in the corporate/non-profit world.

This really isn’t true. It’s too absolute.
The bigger the company, the more likely the chance of what you are saying being true, but I see it, day in and day out where this just isn’t the case.
There certainly are companies out there that care about, and take care of, employees. It’s just, like I tried to outline before, most employees over value themselves, and have zero idea what management is like or what it does on the daily. Employees expect way more than is possible sometimes, and if they don’t get their asses wiped, they feel like you describe.
The employee management relationship is complex, and shit rolls down hill. The two roles don’t ever have to take an “us v them” approach, but often do, and more often than not, it’s on the employee. The employee causes the rift, typically. [/quote]
I omitted small businesses for a reason, that is one of the few areas of loyalty on both sides as you say.
It isn’t an employee’s job who is leaving to try and fix a business. The only thing that can happen in that situation is the employee will damage his future reference potential from that employer.
