> since employees with slack time can no longer be trusted to hopefully work on something that's beneficial for the company. This is firmly the fault of the company(ies). When raises are so few or so little that the only way to help yourself is to change companies, or when despite your "dedication" to the company you are afraid of layoffs at anytime, you aren't going to care about the benefit of the company and are solely looking after your own interests. Companies expect loyalty but give none back in return anymore, and employee attitude now is a direct result of the company's behavior.
