I think we should talk about loyalty, especially in the workplace, but just in general in our culture.

It is at once overvalued and undervalued in a bunch of ways, and I think we often misplace it.

There's loyalty to authority; loyalty to our group; loyalty to a partner; loyalty to a fandom.

But the thing about loyalty is it's kinda empty until it's tested, and we find out what that's really about. And testing loyalty either destroys groups or strengthens them.
