Is company loyalty even a thing anymore?

I have an opportunity to leave my job after two+ years of employment. The offer I have is from a company with stronger leadership, impressive tech, and much better funding. However, my current company has treated me well and I feel like I “owe” them more time. Not sure what it means to be loyal these days or if there is any benefit at all??

Boss told me to go leave a 5 start google review for our business. Do I have to?

Question for the community, my boss walked by and asked if I have a Google account. When I asked why, he told me to go leave our store a 5 star rating because people are upset over the prices of our cars and leaving 1 stars. I work at a car dealership and we are having to mark up cars due to chip shortages. Can he really ask me to do so?

(Serious) doesnt work from home save companies money in the long run?

And i just too liberal socialist or is it true? Less time bosses having to walk around and watch workers everything is automated. Its proven people who work from home are more productive. Offices not having to waste energy to have power on. No having to stock break rooms with pizza. Companies should be begging to have work from home. Its the lifestyle they want for us anyway. Eat sleep and work all from home.

We’re Not Getting Another Chance

If we're going to do something, we need to do it now. Companies are only getting richer, and they don't show any signs of stopping. I feel like our best bet in having any say is refusing to come back to the offices, due to how badly these companies need them. We have leverage, let's use it. Because otherwise there's no way they'll come to the negotiating table.

Employer told me that only 6+ hour shifts get a 30 minute break, but the document they want me to sign clearly states that anything over 5 hours requires a break. I work 5-6 hour shifts most days and have never gotten a 30 minute break unless I worked 8+. What do I do?

why do boomers wrap their identity around work?

I don't mean it in any disrespectful or mocking way, genuinely trying to understand the perspective. I grew up in a working class immigrant family and my parents slave so hard just to survive. To me, work has always been a business transaction since I can remember (e.g. I slave my hours away in exchange for foods in my fridge and a roof over my top). Now I work at a somewhat comfortable 9-5 corporate job and I'm shocked to see the cultural difference. A lot of boomers at my work actually view work as part of their core identity. They stay around and hang out with coworkers (whom they aren't even that close to) even when they're free to go home. They talk about work all day and pride themselves on their work products. They are obsessed with comparing themselves on work-related stuff and brag about what their kids…
