one-way loyalty

Gary Martin (12 Aug.) writes that employee loyalty is not a virtue in the "modern" job market.  Does he really  see modern as different?

Has Martin missed the mass sackings, outsourcing, right- and down-sizings (remember "Chainsaw"Dunlap)of the last century? 
Employee loyalty must always be to themselves. Because business loyalty will always be towards profit for owners.

I have been asked, Should I be looking for a new job? My answer is, Yes, always.
If and when your current job becomes unbearable, or disappears, at least you know what alternatives are available. It's possible that you may even find that your current job is as good as it gets. You will only know if you are always looking.
Do the work that you are paid for and be loyal to yourself. The business cannot afford to be loyal to you.
