Interesting view point I never considered being loyal to the company. I'm loyal to the people in the company and I'm never shy of arguing with management if I don't agree with their decision. Their game is making profit at any cost my game is looking out for the best interests my team.

That's probably why i don't work with very large companies they don't understand that this conflict keeps the company healthy.

The company should be making a profit in order to improve the lives of the people in the company from management to the cleaner not to make the share holders richer although that could be a nice side effect.

Idealist I know but that's how I work If you don't like it don't hire me.
