My tech comm textbook states that employees owe employers competence and diligence, honesty and candor, cofidentiality, and loyalty. This is fair to me up to “loyalty” because that's a two-way street; being loyal to my job may mean something to me, but if I'm let go at the drop of a hat, where's my company's loyalty to me? They hold all the cards and to demand loyalty is an abuse of power.
