Do you have good examples of companies loyal to employees? I have been pretty loyal to my employees, but I have had to make hard decisions when the health of the company was higher priority than loyalty to an employee.
- wahnfrieden 4y agocan it be called loyalty when it only appears to exist when it's not an inconvenience to the business or an owner's profit?
- mcculley 4y agoThis is why I am asking. I did not say that I made decisions against employees when it was an inconvenience to the business or to my profit. I made hard decisions when employees jeopardized the company.

Tim and Nina Zagat were getting on in years, and wanted to protect their employees against getting acquired by some ruthless private equity owners. So they sold to Google. Oh well. Zagat was eventually spun out again. I don't know what happened to those long-time employees.
- runjake 4y agoI don't see anything wrong with that. Similarly, employees have to make hard decisions when the health of their families is a higher priority than loyalty to the company. Maybe we should stop using the term "loyalty" because it unfairly implies absolutes -- at least in the minds of westerners.
