I have yet to see a company where the "loyal" employees are paid more than those who leave for a better salary, or are exempt from laid off. I feel like "Company Loyalty" is one of those nonsensical ideas boomers left to the younger generation.
- FredPret 4y agoIt's a business relationship and should be treated as such by the employees. Employee loyalty is ridiculous because it's clearly only one-way loyalty.
- qup 4y agoOnly if you believe loyalty can only be bought with loyalty. Companies provide some value for employees that they don't get back from them, and vice versa.
- masterof0 4y agoWhat value besides money? A company paying a employee to be "loyal" is nothing more than a business transaction, and "loyal" really is "please, don't go to another company, we will pay you to stay here". I'm assuming the employee is not also the owner.
- qup 4y agoI agree. I think what most people seek in a company is the weathering of risk, the establishment of an opportunity, and the reliability of income. Employers can "demand" loyalty, but as you say, it's basically a request. There's no legal basis for it or anything. I think it's fine to have a culture of loyalty. It probably means you have a pretty good company. Demanding it doesn't work, and if it's not real loyalty, we don't have to be mad about it being one-sided.
