I'd agree with what you're saying, although I think it highly is dependent upon the personality and independence level of the individual. Even at jobs where I found the work interesting, I've never had the slightest emotional attachment to the company. I'm vastly more interested in working on my own projects and hobbies and after putting in the requisite 7-8 hours in a day I completely switch off. It's the same for the ostensible loyalty towards ones hometown. I've been just as comfortable living in China as I have back in the states. I have no loyalty to abstractions like symbols, countries or companies. Loyalty is reserved for friends and my family.
