Loyalty is anti-capitalist.
- karmasimida 4y agoAs software engineers, I don't think this industry value loyalty in the past decade. Job hopping is the norm and is encouraged essentially by the market. Nothing is wrong doing it, we are following the money as we should. Just neither empathy or loyalty is relevant to me, not reliable both ways.
- nemo44x 4y agoPretty much, yeah. The entire idea of capitalism was completely different from previous systems like feudalism. There you were loyal to a lordship and did what was needed and they provided for you. You consumed in the outputs and this is largely how you were compensated. The idea of capitalism is that you trade your labor/expertise/skills for a wage. You don’t own the means of production and you don’t own the outputs of them. Your labor is sold on the market and you are free to bargain and negotiate and step away. So yea, there’s no reason at all to be loyal. It’s a beautiful system that way. It’s liberty and freedom to do as you choose. To decide if you value personal time or working for money.
