In my opinion "loyalty" is best demonstrated by taking into consideration thge welfare of the company. This is perhaps just a general as "loyalty," but I think it may be better understood. > > I'm also looking for something that is active O.K, some examples I came up with: Would it be more loyal for an employee to close his eyes on software bootlegging within a company, or to bring to the attention of the appropriate supervisor the damage that such action may bring about? I think a truly loyal employee would indeed bring this to the attention of an appropriate supervisor, ALONG with information how site licenses, house software, and other methods may lower the cost of software without incurring unethical or damaging behaviour. Would a loyal employee give up family time for a company? It depends. In case of time sensitive projects, where the integrity of the company might e compromised, a loyal employee (all of this is MY OPINION ONLY) would give up some time. But he would not give up so much as to decrease his overall productivity because that would NOT benefit the welfare of the company. Given a project, would a loyal employee point out "better" ways of doing the project? I think so. An indifferent employee might not, but a loyal employee would bring the better solution to his supervisor's attention in a clear and easily understood manner. Would a loyal employee think and do on his own what would benefit the company without taking time from his "first priority" duties? I think so. An indifferent employee would not care, but a loyal employee would know what to do with any time that may be unproductively assigned by his company, i.e. "waiting for projects," if you will. These are some examples. They are limited. They _are_ _my_ _personal_ _opinions_. I would like to hear what others have to say. ---- Joyful Holidays and a Happy New Year!
