Given a situation when your loyalty is put to test  I will not leave my company if I have spend some time with them and have progressed in my career,it should be an exceptionally moth watering opportunity which will lure me to go for a change.

Agree with Mr. Syed Tameez Ahmed

 

Better opportunities are needed to be seized.. Especially if the difference in overall package inclusive of salary benefits etc... is significantly greater than your current employer. Many other factors in play as well before the final decision is to be made, just as Mr. Syed Tameez mentioned.

Good day

Thanks for the invitation

although I am not thinking to leave my company in near future, but I don't consider accepting better opportunity, especially if this opportunity  include a career growth, non loyalty to my current employer. It's the company right to search for the best candidates and it's my right to get the best possible position.

Leaving your company for an opportunity with better benefits is not loyal? How come?  In such situation , I will not leave the company , I will run …. J

This is more related to 'theory of needs. than 'loyalty'.

Remember Herzberg theory;

It differ hugely from person to person, and there in no fix answer to this question. There are enormous factors to one's situation.

People working at 'physical need or basic needs' , don't care about these fancy word. They need to put food on their table.

People working at the upper side of the triangle with 'affection needs' will have different thinking.

Having said that, I would also say 'employment is a mutual contract between employee and employer'. How employee is loyal to the employer will balance the other side.

This is a true 'give and take' situation.

Loyalty starts with oneself. You can not be loyal to your company if  you are not loyal to yourself first. You should definitely be loyal to your employer as long as your employment lasts. Loyalty should be reciprocal. You should be loyal to your employer, and so should your employer to you. Besides, I don't believe it is a question of loyalty. Rather, it is a question of how beneficial the relationship is to you and to your employer. Benefits should be mutually equitable. If I find that I can get a job with better benefits somewhere else, it is only logical for me  to jump ship. Self-interest comes first;other-interest second.This does not mean I am betraying my current employer. Before deciding to leave, I would  give my current employer a chance first -i.e. re-negotiate my salary package and benefits with him. If he turns me down, it is only rational for me to go to the other employer.
