Give and take

In the past several years there has been shift of loyalty among employers / employees.

Employees are often "looking for the next best thing" or are not going the extra mile for their employers. Working late hours, coming in on off days when a coworker is ill etc.

On the other side of the coin is the employer who doesn't give the "loyal" employee the time off they need or support they may need in a rough situation either at work or at home.

Long gone are the times where a person worked for a company for 35 - 40 years through thick and thin and the employers who say "take the time you need" when some catastrophic occurs.

The question I pose is this: Which came first, the employees "disloyalty" or the employers?
