This concept is way behind the reality of the workplace. The Social Contract was breached in the 1980s - and there has been no trust between Employer and Employee since then. The latest round of layoffs just reinforces what Employees of every generation realize: it\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s every Employee for themselves and the company is merely a stepping stone - not a safe haven - on the way (hopefully) to a better life. Employees trust only their own skill sets and their Work Team Mates - those they are in the foxhole with as they try to survive the layoffs and reduction in wages that are dictated by the economy and employers who are totally focused on the bottom line.
