Loyalty-it’s a value we hold dear in our relationships and often extend to our employers. But here’s the hard truth: loyalty in the workplace is rarely returned. While countless articles praise the benefits of employee loyalty, the harsh reality is that it’s often a one-way street.
In this eye-opening episode of Land of Confusion, I’ll share a cautionary tale from my own career about why loyalty to your employer might be costing you more than you think. Together, we’ll decode the hidden meaning behind workplace loyalty rhetoric, uncover why betrayal is inevitable, and discover where your loyalty truly belongs.
All of this unfolds alongside three Minecraft builds-a cane farm with hidden flaws, a cozy cartographer’s house masking chaos, and a sheep stable that’s a metaphor for the messy truth about loyalty. It’s not just a build montage-it’s a journey through lessons learned the hard way.
