Come on people - "loyalty" to "the company? what doesthat get you?
A lousy raise that got wiped out by inflation.
Unmet promises of a promotion.
Layoffs at the first sign of turmoil, with no warning.
"loyalty" is a two-way street.
Once I worked for a "huge company", where I had gotten
4 patents, increased revenue, added value, started & led
a new global team, taught the hard stuff to more junior
members, great reviews, blah blah blah.
Then I got laid off. Found another job pretty quick. couple months
later the "huge company" realized they screwed up and tried
to "rehire" several of us back. To a man, we all said:
"Why should I even want to work for a place that fired me?"
So don't talk to me about "Loyalty".
BTW, doing your day job from 9-5, then doing outside "contract work", "consulting work" or independant stuff like running a PC storefront or Web design has been going on forever ... nothing new here, move along, move along...
