Sure, we owe them per the contract, nothing more, nothing less.

But is it really that simple? Of course not! If it only comes down to the contract with no loyalty or pride, then that means on the day I need to ship a package it might be FedEx if they are cheaper that day. When I'm at happy hour shortly, if I strike up a conversation with the guy next to me, 'Take Charge' would not be in the back of my mind. Cost savings idea? Why would I bother with an email?

Anyone who believes a lack of employee loyalty does not affect a company's bottom line is a fool. Look no further than Southwest Airlines
AMEN!

Or look at TWA! Only so many times you can **** on your employees before you go out of business!
