I've never researched company and interpersonal loyalty, but this rings exactly true for me.
It is possible to be only be loyal to each other and destroy your company, a la tragedy of the commons.
Loyalty to coworkers naturally includes loyalty to the company, because (ostensibly) if the company does better, everyone working there does better.
I don't understand the impulse to steal or skimp or be lazy. It seems short sighted and damaging.
- closetohome 8y ago> if the company does better, everyone working there does better Is the theory, but rarely the reality. The truth is that at any company of a certain size or larger, you're a replaceable cog, and nothing you do - positive or negative - will affect the trajectory of the company. It's easy to become cynical in that environment.
- kryogen1c 8y agoThat's probably true, but that's the opposite of what the article is talking about. Transitioning from nothing to startup to small business is not the same as working at multibillion international company.
