> Loyalty is such a ridiculous thing for most companies to expect. It needs to be earned, and it's not even that complicated.

In this day and age, anyone who expects loyalty--from an employer or an employee--is either blinded by nostalgia, hopelessly naive, or a blithering idiot. Loyalty in the workplace died many, many years ago.

That is not true.

I work for a company where firing is kind of a no-go, at least at the the level of engineers. You'd have to provoke it, e.g. by stealing something. Also, if I decide to leave the company, I tell so as early as possible.

It seems you must have had experiences at workplaces where there was no trust.

Disclaimer: I work for a german company.

Yeah, being outside of the US could make a huge difference. For the most part, in the US, you can be laid off/fired for damn near any reason, at any time, with absolutely no warning.

Companies such as your employer are prettymuch unheard of around here.
