I know my dad was loyal to the company he worked for, and he declined many other better offers, gave up seeing his family, and devoted himself to them. Some time later, the corporation was bought up, his immediate boss left and he was downsized.
The issue with large corporations is that there is no real person behind them. The board can change, the owners can change - and these changes can happen dramatically overnight.
It's impossible to maintain trust in an organization like that because when an organization makes a decision, it's difficult to know who the main actors are and impossible to know who the main actors will be.
But I suppose there can be short term trust for corporations that have dominant individuals with dominant philosophies. We know that as long as Bezos is head, we can trust Amazon to think long term. We knew that was long as Sam Walton was around Walmart would prioritize low prices. But on top of that it's difficult to assign trust to an entity whose actions are the result of an ever changing and difficult to identify set of people.
