My parents told me to be loyal to people, not companies.

People get me a job when I look for one.

I agree. Tenures may be short but careers are long and tech is (surprisingly) small. Credibility builds trust and trust between people is ultimately what business run on. "Do right be people" is a good strategy.

Exactly what I always proclaim. I'm loyal to my team, to my coworkers, the living beings, not to the org chart that pulled them together.

(Another thing I keep repeating is "You are not your job".)
