Why shouldn't they be? They had a hard time finding a job in the first place, and read nothing but stories of how companies are laying people off, starting at the bottom.
I'm on the border of GenX and Millennial (depending on where you look), and I would definitely say I feel no corporate loyalty. I worked for a large Fortune 50 retailer during the era of their first layoff, and I felt the blade whiz by me, knowing full well I could easily have been let go. Likewise, being a tech worker, I was in a cost-center and not a income earning group, meaning I was always subject to cost cutting and belt tightening. I felt like a number (even my network logon was a random string and not my name - admittedly for security, I get that), and why would a number feel loyalty to a megacorp?
