In the so called "old" days corporations were smaller, the quality of executives were MUCH better and were a more closely knit labour force. Not to say corporations didn't try to break labour's backs, they did and unions were formed. I believe the main reason why worker loyalty is at an all time low is because corporations today are HUGE and most executives don't lead by example. And as with "most" workers, management have little loyalty as well. Management jumps around just as workers do to progress to bigger and better things. Heck it's happened to me, I was given the opportunity to advance by switching corporations. I gave the first corporation every opportunity to hang on to me but in the end all they did was thank me for giving them 3 weeks notice, not even so much as a "let's talk about this". It's not a generation Y thing, it's a "trend" thing today and no one's immune not even Google at the current rate they're growing.
