It is not uncommon to move from company to company during your climb up
the job status or pay increase ladder. The days of sticking around with
one company your entire lifetime died in the 1960's.

Which, BTW, is the other side of the story that Harry doesn't speak to in
his routine anti-corporation rhetoric.
A company typically invests in a new employee, particularly during the
first year or so before he/she has acquired all of the skills and
knowledge to have a positive influence on the bottom line.

The 60's-70's trend towards mobility in one's career, often leveraging
experience and knowledge gained at one company for higher pay or status at
another has now become very commonplace. Why is loyalty to employees by
the company expected but not employee loyalty to the company?

Which came first........the chicken or the egg?

If an employee hits a glass ceiling with pay increases or promotions why not
try to better himself by searching the market? Heck, they could be history
the next day due to any number of reasons.

Have you given any thought as to who put that "glass ceiling" in front
of the aspiring CEO? Most of the time it is the aspiring CEO himself due
to his own lack of ability technically, politically or socially to
maneuver the corporate culture.

After employees have seen layoffs and sites being shut down they really have
no choice but to keep their options open and better themselves if the
opportunities arise. Loyalty to any company is dead and the corporations
caused it.

Are you owed a job. Once you get a job should you have a right to that
job for the rest of your life regardless of how your perform? You would
have made a great government bureaucrat. You trudge into work each day,
do just enough to keep you job and when the clock strikes five race out
the door and run over everyone in your way.
