Loyalty...does it get you anywhere

[Warthog]

Wheelybin - On a more philosophical point I think that it is sometimes easy to confuse loyalty with commitment. I like to think that I am committed to my job. I feel that I have an obligation to do my job to the best of my ability and provide as much intrinsic quality as my capabilities will allow. On the other hand loyalty is about faithfulness or devotion. Loyalty on its own provides that the employee will faithfully turn up for work every day. It doesn't necessarily mean that they will commit themselves to the success of the company. Semantics for sure, but if I was an employer I know which type of employee I would prefer.
