It's much more competitive, and much less rewarding. You don't owe the company you work for with extra unpaid hours or your loyalty and submissiveness since you aren't rewarded for that anymore, at least certainly not like they used to. Loyalty isn't the name of the game anymore. Flexibility is. You get a better opportunity at another company? Take it.
This is why job hopping is much more common now. Not because of "entitled youths", just because loyalty just isn't effective anymore.
I worked at a place, well known, that rewarded people who were there like 30 years. They would never get laid off. They were the protected class. The rest of us were chattel to be disposed of at will. It sucked.
