Anyone staying more than a year is loyal in my book. And plenty stay more than a year.

Which actually illustrates the "no loyalty" point. A year is nothing. Staying that long doesn't demonstrate anything.

But nobody should be "loyal" to companies. Companies are certainly not "loyal" to them. To be clear, when I'm on the clock at a company, I'm all in -- they're paying me to be.

But off the clock, no. And I have no problem leaving a position when it's no longer beneficial to me. And employer-employee relationship is a business deal, nothing more.

As it should be.

There are some companies that behave like its still the 1960's, and try retain employees for the long term (a "job for life").

They are a vanishingly small minority, and usually not tech companies - but traditional companies that use technology and have in house dev teams.
