In short, companies are giving less, are less loyal, and are asking for more. This. I'm a millenial I suppose. Born in 1982, and now solidly in the workforce.

This.
I'm a millenial I suppose. Born in 1982, and now solidly in the workforce. I watched my parents get screwed over time and time again by companies that demanded loyalty without reciprocation. I learned things like the fact that the best way to get a raise or promotion is to leave for another company, and received the admonition to remember that a company is not your friend. It does not have personal consideration.
I was taught that I have to take care of myself, and that nobody else will do that for me.
Loyalty, like trust, is a two-way street. It is hard to earn and easily lost.
- modoc 18y agoAbsolutely. I often have friends who are working for, or contractors for some company, and get a great opportunity presented to them, and say "but I can't leave MegaCorp, I've only been there for a year, and I don't want to let people down". I have to remind them that if their project gets cancelled or postponed, they won't even get two weeks notice from MegaCorp. That they won't let anyone down, MegaCorp has 200 people with your job title. Some companies show real loyalty to their employees, but most will let you go or lay you off without a second thought and without any sleep lost. So why should you lose sleep over turning in your resignation to them.
