Do Not Let Loyalty Become Self-Abandonment

Loyalty to a company is admirable until it starts costing you your health, your relationships, or years of stalled growth. Some organizations deliberately cultivate a culture of loyalty to discourage people from leaving, even when staying is clearly against the employee's interest. Loyalty is a two-way street, and you should evaluate it regularly. Ask yourself: does this company invest in me the way I invest in it? Would they keep me if the economics changed? If the answer is no, your loyalty may have quietly turned into self-sacrifice.
