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?

Well, someone got it. Which is why I suggested that the day a corporation
hires you is the day you should update your resume and have it ready to
go. Screw the corporation before it screws you.

I guess all I can say is with that philosophy, you deserve to get screwed.

Are you suggesting that one be loyal to the corporation because that
will *ensure* loyalty to you?

Of course not. I am merely making the point that the decline of mutual
loyalty has been a two way street.
