Should I be Loyal to my employer??

Why?? I really wonder why people say this line? Companies hire us not for our loyalty, instead, it’s for our services. And, we chose a company not to be loyal, instead, to be remunerated for our service rendered. So, there is nothing loyalty does on each side. In fact, both should be just and transparent to each other. Be honest to yourself and keep ethics high on your part, and both will benefit.

When I see some of my friends/colleagues say they have a clean CV and are proud of being loyal to a company for long years, I just keep admiring their innocence. They are either too innocent or are too scared to step out and venture further.

Having a long-standing single employer in your cv doesn’t make it clean. Think if you have done justice to yourself. Moreover, it also depends on the organization size and culture. Will it safeguard its employees during a strong hurricane (recession) ? or will it shed you off, making you feel as if you were a pay load??

Getting into an MNC is not a big achievement, molding yourself to be an in-dispensable asset to your organization is the real challenge. The oldest leaves wither for even a small wind, but a leaf deep-rooted to the trunk survives a hurricane.

Appraise yourself on your corporate grounds. Step into their shoes and look at you… are you worth being employed.?? are you serving your purpose?? etc… if you are not able to justify yourself, then you are in deep trouble… Its time you come out of your loyalty world and harness yourself to meet up the requirements of the corporate.

Always remember, You are not the last employee alive, nor your employer is not the last employer alive..
