Okay, here's the deal. You make this company your No. 1 loyalty -- even above your family. You do what you're told. If we transfer you to Timbuktu, you move to Timbuktu. In exchange, we'll give you security -- you'll have a job for life.

Perhaps no one ever stated it so explicitly, but that was the basic loyalty contract between employer and employee 20 years ago.

What do you thnk? Is loyalty dead and gone, a victim of turbulent times in the corporate world? Or is it still here, only different somehow?
