There used to be loyalty in business. Then they realized what a mistake that was.
You owe your employer nothing more than what's legally agreed upon in your employment contract.
If they ask for more, your response without hesitation should be "fuck you, pay me".
Don't do anything for these fucks, for free.
There was loyalty when it went both ways. That includes your employer paying more if you work more or times are good, and the return they get is you taking on extra work when times are tough.
Very few companies still do this and they're all small businesses. Most people will never work at a place like that. Hence fypm is the correct attitude now.
Of course there are other exceptions. I've taken on extra shit and later negotiated it into a raise. But that also might not work for most people.
