> This used to be addressed by the fact that people were loyal to companies

In my observation, employers stopped being loyal to employees long before employees stopped being loyal to employers.

I'm sure you can find plenty of example of both. But TBH, I don't think it really matters which side you try and point the finger at after decades of decline - the point is that the employee/employer relationship has fundamentally changed, and it's hard to see it ever changing back.

Agreed. It's not about blame, just that employers are almost always working with a better perspective and more information.

Business circumstances made it advantageous, and then necessary, to break the social contract.

It might be possible to go back, but I can't imagine any series of events that leads in that direction which doesn't break the global economy in the process.
