My parents told me to be loyal to people, not companies. People get me a job when I look for one.

- espinchi 2y agoGood advice. The company gets your loyalty as a side-effect
- xp84 2y agoExactly- and if they screw the people I'm loyal to, FAFO. One of the most satisfying things that's ever happened to me in my career is when, after I turned in my notice to my last job, less than a week later my boss gave his.
- emgeee 2y agoI agree. Tenures may be short but careers are long and tech is (surprisingly) small. Credibility builds trust and trust between people is ultimately what business run on. "Do right be people" is a good strategy.
- nine_k 2y agoExactly what I always proclaim. I'm loyal to my team, to my coworkers, the living beings, not to the org chart that pulled them together. (Another thing I keep repeating is "You are not your job".)
- usrusr 2y agoOnly in moderation. When employees start forming cells inside the org things quickly become toxic.
- htrp 2y agoconversely you don't quit bad companies, you quit bad managers
