Employers love that attitude and will ride it all the way to the bank. And once you're older (and wiser) they will replace you with a younger, hard working employee who they pay less.
The unfortunate truth is that today's workplace is purely transactional --- no loyalty is given --- but employees are certainly free to expect otherwise if they want.
Leadership and loyalty in the workplace died about 40 years ago --- along with pensions and company paid health care. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person will change jobs 12 times over the course of his working life with the typical job lasting just over 4 years.
In recent decades—especially in the United States—job security, retirement security, and employee loyalty have all declined dramatically. Said another way, companies have completely and utterly abandoned their employees. We are not in this together; we are in this on our own.
