Loyalty should never demand reward. Loyalty itself is the reward. Else it's just prostitution by another name. (This thought inspired by golf)

Would you remain loyal to someone or some entity that betrayed your trust like that? Or would a massive payday make everything OK? If being lied to and being paid off makes it better, is that loyalty? If my loyalty is abused, it doesn't get sold to the highest bidder. It's gone.

Not looking to debate about the situation. Just trying to explain the connection between your post and golf

Right. Sorry, I was using 'you' in a generic sense. Expanding on your comment.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
