Thinks s/he gets paid by the post

I mean if I was a young guy I would have VERY LITTLE ALLEGENCE TO MY COMPANY!
I would be the whore and find the best paying place year after year!
I am good at what I do.
And that is where we are now or at least where we are headed. I prefered the era when workers were loyal to the company and the company looked after them. I do not celebrate the changes, like some, but I do acknowledge them. There are really tradeoffs that will cost something. What will be interesting is to see what develops over several business cycles when the various benifits of loyality VS flexibility plays out. It may be an issue of optimum VS maximum. AFAIK as the population levels off/declines employee retention will become more important. Maybe we will see the return of employer provided fringe benifits.
