I work in London, UK. The distrust levels in the company I work in are difficult to gauge as I'm contracted out to a client site. From what I hear other contractors in the client site the level of distrust is simply down to pay. The parent companies that have contractors onsite rarely offered a rise that matched inflation even when inflation was <3% let alone now when it's >10%. I've even seen employees of one parent company move to another for a five figure pay rise and end up in the same building doing an almost identical job.

> I've always perceived opinions on HN regarding work as being of the 'take the money and run' variety, switching jobs as fast as possible and generally having no loyalty in the company

This is not a fair picture to paint of people who job hop. I've never been in the same role for more than three years but that's less about loyalty/money and more about my desire to learn new things at a pace faster than the companies move.
