You can’t do enough for a good boss.
However would I put up with crap treatment because is worked somewhere for a long time. No. Largely because I wouldn’t work there.
Too many drivers don’t value themselves which is why we get treated like ■■■■.
Years ago when i was in my 20’s i worked for a company doing multidrop with a class2 and i did every run they gave me no matter how tough it was and at the same time all the “older” guys got it easier even though we were all paid the same 
when i left to drive class 1’s i found out that the only reason i was given the hard runs was because i didnt moan and i just got on with the job whilst the older drivers constantly moaned and gave the TM grief all the time !!
and what did i get for doing all that extra hard work and basically being a mug ?..a sore back, knackered knees and a hernia operation and im in constant pain !!..thats loyalty for you !! 
now im older i stick to all the easy jobs 
Loyalty?
No such thing in the workplace anymore.
Whether it’s a two faced ■■■■■■■■ of an employer or slimey back stabbing from supposed work colleagues, loyalty is a thing of the past I’m afraid.
I don’t trust anyone and only tell them what I want them to know.

Yeah, I make ya right Steve! Watch that Nathan mate!
My last job was for a largish ‘temperature controlled distribution’ company.
I didn’t have a day off sick in nearly five years, came in to cover shifts at short notice, never pinched any derv etc.
My reward was redundancy notice two days before Christmas. That’s what you get for showing some loyality these days.

I’ve never pinched derv because of loyalty to a company. I’ve never done it because its theft. The way you’ve written that is almost like an employer should be expecting it if they don’t treat their staff right.
After six months agency work with the same company, I was given just 90 minutes notice of contract termination as was another temp. The regular guys thought it was a bad show, until ten minutes later two of them were also called into the office and had their permanent employment ended. Employees are just a commodity nowadays.
Miss Daisy.
We deserve to be stewed in our own ■■■■■
Because we let them do it.

They say don’t eat yellow snow.
Don’t trust the yellow tickets.
Loyalty !!! 
, When I am shown it I will show it back to them , what these firms never realise is if they was ok with you we would be the same with them , personally I don’t give a ■■■■ about em as I am on the agencies and most treat you as a thicko who cant get a full time job and are ignorant ■■■■■ who apart from giving you your notes and keys would not even give you the time of day or speak to you hence this is how I treat them back , do the job safely and legally and do them no favours whatsoever as 99.9 % of them are just [zb]houses .

I think you’ve misinterpreted my comment. Not stealing derv wasn’t out of loyality to the company. I wouldn’t steal from any company. Loyal or otherwise. I was using it as an example. 
Just found out that my partner has bipolar. Been with company two months and they have bent over backwards to help me. So id say it exists in some places… not many tho hahs
Muckaway:
‘… Loyalty …Is there still such a thing, either from your employer, to you, or you to your employer…?’
Isn’t the rosy concept of loyalty now an extinct commodity
It has surely been replaced by the European Union’s grey mush of legislation, which has effectively rendered individuals impotent to it’s undemocratically enforced demands of us all 
Such control - as wholly embraced by the Lib-Lab-Con parties which we prole’s tribally endorse on a 4-5 year parliamentary cycle, rarely permits human adaptation of that legislation to genuinely enable hitherto mutual loyalty that I argue once better benefitted all parties in the UK and were by and large universally respected
I thus suggest that the warmth of intra-UK forms of loyalty have become Europeanised into PC, steely-cold control by whispering systems of bull-dozered manipulation.
Unless I’m wrong … 
I wouldn’t say loyalty exists at my firm either. Been there since 2001, in total had just under 3 months off sick, always went above and beyond my job description, always helped my customers where i could, never moaned about what crap deliveries i had been given gor the next day, yet as soon as i take a day off sick in 19 months because my little girl had to be rushed to hospital, the boss goes mad. Ive been more loyal to my work than i have been to my new little family, but after my bosses reaction my attitude has changed somewhat. Especially when i have a driver who goes sick so much, you can almost predict when he’s gonna be off next. Yet no one moans.
