I agree. It isn’t an absolute though: you can get employers to train you at their expense, and give you more work in exchange of raises that may not always be worth the effort, but there comes the most important thing that I wasn’t told when I was younger and still seems to be a thing that some dinosaurs think: loyalty for employers only means you don’t actively try to destroy the company, getting a better employer if the previous one won’t pay enough or won’t give you better working conditions is almost always easier than managing to convince a stubborn boss.
And always be a member of a union. If there isn’t one, contact union people near you and they’ll tell you how to do it, even if your boss is great you’re better off in a union (companies can be sold…).
