Unfortunately, the employee-employer 'contract' (agree to work here for your entire career and we'll take care of you by providing a pension and not laying you off to bump the stock a few points) has been broken permanently. The the nail in the coffin for me was in '96 when AT&T laid off 40,000 employees. That's when I realized there was no such thing as job security--especially working in at-will states--so the only one to look out for me was...me. | |

And note that offering a severance is a good corollary for what my answer suggests -- providing assistance so the other party isn't left in a complete lurch. I can't help but feel that this comment is indicative of why so many workplaces have an us-against-them culture. That's not my company's culture. | |

What are the terms of your employment contracts (in terms of notice from either party)? If the answers are '0%', 'none' and 'we don't have contracts', then you have no loyalty to your employees and thus, they have no obligation to have loyalty to you. | |
