This goes two ways. Oftentimes employees act like entitled children as well. You are not "owed" anything for your loyalty to a company other than a paycheck for services rendered.
- taurath 11y agoWhats loyalty then if not doing things that aren't fully in your own interests for the interests of the group? Why do people insist on simplifying relationships and work to a transactional standpoint? Do you not see the significance it has on your life?

Employment is a new transaction between two parties every day -- it occurs only so long as it's mutually beneficial, just like every other transaction. No one, neither employer nor employee, should expect more than that.
