    Don't expect workers' corporate loyalty when they are relegated to figures that are required to be retrenched during crunch time. Don't expect stayers in the coming markets and expect more job hoppers in the coming new economy. Anticipate a hyper fluid, flexible and cruel job market with everyone for oneself.
