The main objective here is to find the "Love & Respect" not only from your employers but to your co-workers as well. To be able to find a good and healthy environment to the benefit of both parties.

Perhaps we're really in agreement? Maintaining empathetic, respectful, and close working relationships with one's co-workers is very important.

My earlier comment was strictly about my economic relationship to my employer (the company). I want to warn people off of feeling emotionally beholden to their employers, which I think is a slippery slope.

To clarify, I heartily recommend feeling good about your employer, just not emotionally beholden.

Furthermore, I believe that your employer doesn't want you to feel emotionally beholden either. A good employer should recognize that a healthy relationship between them and the employee involves a measure of emotional distance, and that this distance is essential to maintaining productive and happy employees.
