Only those suffering from Foxitis believe Fox does not have an agenda. If you suffer Foxitis for more than four hours, please consult Dr. Oz or change the batteries in your remote.

I think a part of that is that the time has long gone when some companies may have had some sort of loyalty to workers, and vice versa. Loyalty is a two-way street.

A couple of generations have grown up seeing Mom and Dad work their asses off for a company, only to see them get rewarded by nothing other than a pink slip and a cardboard box either because the jobs moved overseas, the company didn't like its balance sheet, the CEO needs another new yacht, or even for valid reasons.

At some point, those generations see that there's no loyalty, want work-life balance, and figure if the employer is out to exploit them by paying them as little as they can, then fair is fair and the employee is going to do as little work as they can get away with doing.
