No bilateral loyalty “contract”

There used to be a type of unwritten social contract between successful companies and employees in the United States — "you take care of me, and I’ll take care of you — in good times and bad.” Those days are over in all but the smaller, private lifestyle-type companies.

The latest generations have been taught that there is no bilateral loyalty “contract” like that that existed prior. I can’t blame them for not putting in much more than is absolutely required, especially in a company that makes billions and makes sure the upper eschelon is enriched and the workers are fodder for quarterly earnings.

Bumping this from @hfj+1rgfaLqD for being on point.

Wishful thinking.
Remember, we're all "parts" in the machine.
Cogs to be replaced when worn out.
The rest of it, is just deception.

This was the case before the last boomers graduated high school. You're both well over 40 years late in figuring this out.
