Employee loyalty just isn’t what it used to be. The days of one
employee working for one company for an entire career and ultimately
retiring from that company, with pride and pension, are, to a great
degree, going away. With today’s mergers and acquisitions, company
closings, downsizing, accounting irregularities, tarnished images, and
intense economic pressure on company portfolios and pension plans,
an employee is likely to leave with neither pride nor healthy pension,
and maybe even a lot sooner than an anticipated retirement.
