They got the memo; they just want to have their cake and eat it, too. They want you to be loyal to them, but to retain the option to dump you on the street as soon as somebody needs to bump their profit numbers by 0.1%.

Maybe you need to write a 5000-word memo to get the message across.

Corporate loyalty is gone, but nepotism never dies.
