Loyalty is for people, not corporations. I also don't think generalizing about what "companies deserve" is super useful, and definitely not something to internalize. Personally, I feel a moral duty to do my best work wherever I happen to be employed, but it's still transactional. If they treat me well, and the work is interesting, I'm more likely to stay, but it's not an obligation. Now, if some individuals really stick their neck out for me, that does buy some loyalty, but only within reason. At the end of the day it's still a business and when the winds shift leadership will have to put the overall business health ahead of individuals.
