I started my career at a large corporation; part of the compensation package was a traditional pension plan that encouraged you to stay for 35 years, as the eventual payout was a formula with a multiplier of years worked divided by 35. Note that the traditional pension plan was discontinued for new employees years ago.
Fast forward a couple of decades and I found myself back there as a contractor. I went to a meeting where upper management was showing the org chart for the core division and extolling the fact that all but two people on the chart had been with the company for less than two years - "we have fresh blood and fresh thinking!" So, not only did they not encourage loyalty, they came to the belief that longevity was a negative attribute. That said, I have also heard of cases where people have gotten into trouble for interviewing with competitors.
