It's good because you get loyalty in return. A reasonably comfortable life, enough money to raise a family, some vacation time, and a guaranteed pension. If there's no loyalty in return it's wasted.
No, you should hop from job to job right before you're eligible for the bonus program at your current job and just constantly have the large cost of moving.
This. And to add to it, all those mean less movement, more stability, and better outcomes for families. Maybe less of a deal if you live somewhere where jobs are plentiful, but location hopping with no stability fucks up kids.
On its own it isn't good. But I asked my Japanese boss one time why people in Japan mostly stick with one company. He said it's pretty much just that the company one is with is almost invariably always the one that will pay them the most money. Also job security. Once you've been there a few years you'd almost have to try to get let go.
Kind of obvious shit but it was interesting hearing it right from the horse's mouth. In America, if you are a good worker you can generally find someone willing to pay you enough to job hop every couple years if you wanted. Japan not so much, but I wonder if that will become more prevalent as population decline continues and companies are more desperate for people.
Why is loyalty to a company good?

It's the best way!
"Bonus program, what's that?" asks the American.

That's putting way too much faith in corporations having good will and morality.
