Loyalty discount
ˈlɔɪəlti ˈdɪskaʊnt (n.)
The great falsification of the human resourses dogma.

For the strictures of salary bands, forced ranking, gerrymandered performance appraisal system — all the great apocrypha of the HR canon — mean that through time a given employee’s compensation will decouple from whatever value she offers the firm, however meagre.[1]

Over time, those who remain loyal to the firm are penalised. The only way to correct this — to mark yourself to market — is to join a competitor.
