Work hard, get good at your job, get promoted and get pay raises and after 20 years, Oops you’re too expensive. We can start two college kids to take your place and give them only two weeks’ vacation instead of the 5 you’re getting and all those benefits you’ve been grandfathered into, guess what? We don’t have to give them anymore either.
I know three people who got laid off from their jobs after 40 years. That’s loyalty for you.
It’s happened so many times in my career that the last time it happened, I had to console my boss. He was more upset about losing me than I was about losing the job.
