At least in very small companies you are working with and for a particular set of people. So loyalty and personal reputation definitely applies.

- nknight 15y agoLoyalty to people != loyalty to a company. I'm well acquainted with the interaction between personal loyalty and employment. I've made career-altering choices out of personal loyalty that in a purely economic sense were not optimal. But that loyalty is tied only to people, not to any company. If I'm not in a job because of loyalty to one or more people, it's got to be out of either economic factors, or because I find the work interesting/fulfilling. The entity it's associated with is irrelevant.
- dmix 15y agoIf it's loyalty to a person, then asking them to stay (even if they aren't happy) for $50k is a weak form of loyalty. For stock ownership in a startup it makes more sense as they have to stay PLUS contribute to the companies success.
