Don't agree at all. You get hired, you do the work, you get paid. That's the end of the story.

If some other company offers you more, you leave and work for them.

Selling your time and labor is about taking care of your family and yourself. It is never, ever about loyalty to a company.

Not only no but HELL NO! you don't owe them anything other than to do the the best you can at the task you were hired to perform for an agreed upon amount of $ and X amount of hours.

Loyalty is earned and you are blessed if you have an employer/employee that is worthy of your loyalty.

How is he a loser for those quotes? As an executive in the corporate world if I mentioned loyalty in a management meeting in any of the companies I had worked for I would get laughed at for being a fool. Those quotes above would be repeated and I have heard them repeated.

In theory I agree loyalty, particularly for family businesses. Corporate America however laughs at your loyalty.

I wish I had known this when I was younger. I gave loyalty to people and companies that did not deserve it.

You have to look out for yourself since no one else will. Especially those you give loyalty to who spit upon your loyalty and work ethic due to whatever insecurities, emotional or mental issues some people have. More often some will considering selling or merging the company resulting in laying offs to make a buck for themselves without a second thought about your loyalty.
