Q
Is loyalty to a company still important?
A
Expert Answer
Mutual loyalty has declined—companies aren't loyal to employees (layoffs, restructuring), so employees shouldn't feel obligated to stay in suboptimal situations. However, integrity matters: honor commitments, give reasonable notice, don't burn bridges. Strategic job-hopping is normal; serial job-hopping without advancement raises concerns.
