Loyalty is not owed, it is earned. If an employer does a sufficiently good job of employing me on number of different fronts then I am inclined to give said employer the benefit of the doubt when I perceive that things have become non-ideal for me in a short, medium or perhaps even longer term. If however an employer wants a business-only relationship with me that is fine. It should expect that my loyalty will be guided solely with my best interests in mind on all time-scales and without regard for how this may impact the employer/business.
