LOYALTY?????? Any poor moron with a spec of company loyalty needs to re-examine their position. I don't understand company loyalty. I know people that are entirely loyal to the companies they work for. . .. practically manage their life around what's best for the company. to that I ask you this, Does the company thing twice before downsizing their workers? Does the company decide to take a few dollars off the high paid execs just so they can keep that extra janitor? Do they even think TWICE if you MESS up before firing you because of it? NOT LIKELY. Why should we then be loyal to the company? why should we forgive them for their mishaps when forgiveness is not given to us. And don't tell me that "getting a warning" or getting "written up" is forgiveness. No it's a noose around your neck so that you know they've got a size 16 boot and won't think twice before using it. Company loyalty. Hey jen, how's that loyalty to mcdonald's done you? you're a manager there now? what does that get you? yelled at from customers? more responsibility in flipping burgers? I have a good attitude on things and I won't quit a job over something stupid but I am NOT loyal to ANY company. I think for myself.
