When <em>commitment</em> is reduced to time at work, <em>loyalty</em> to something one pays for, and <em>trust</em> to a legal contract, these terms are emptied of moral meaning and the workplace becomes morally bankrupt."

How can companies expect employees to be loyal to them when they can&#8217;t be loyal to employees?  One way is to strip loyalty of its moral meaning. Employees will be &#8220;loyal&#8221; if you pay them more than they would make in other places &#8230;<br />
When <em>commitment</em> is reduced to time at work, <em>loyalty</em> to something one pays for, and <em>trust</em> to a legal contract, these terms are emptied of moral meaning and the workplace becomes morally bankrupt.

<blockquote><p><cite><span class="iw52-source">Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16</span><br />
The New International Version</cite></p>
<p><sup>1</sup> He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High<br />
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.<br/></p>
<p><sup>2</sup> I will say of the LORD, &#8220;He is my refuge and my fortress,<br />
       my God, in whom I trust.&#8221;<br/></p>
<p><sup>3</sup> Surely he will save you from the fowler&#8217;s snare<br />
       and from the deadly pestilence.<br/></p>
<p><sup>4</sup> He will cover you with his feathers,<br />
       and under his wings you will find refuge;<br />
       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.<br/></p>
<p><sup>5</sup> You will not fear the terror of night,<br />
       nor the arrow that flies by day,<br/></p>
<p><sup>6</sup> nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,<br />
       nor the plague that destroys at midday.</p>
<p><sup>14</sup> &#8220;Because he loves me,&#8221; says the LORD, &#8220;I will rescue him;<br />
       I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.<br/></p>
<p><sup>15</sup> He will call upon me, and I will answer him;<br />
       I will be with him in trouble,<br />
       I will deliver him and honor him.<br/></p>
<p><sup>16</sup> With long life will I satisfy him<br />
       and show him my salvation.&#8221;</p>
