The corporation doesn't get loyalty, they get employees who will keep doing this in the future.

That's loyalty, because it implies the employees are more likely to stick around. Employees that feel their input is valued more often than not do.

Maybe some employees will be less likely to stick around, too.

It is unlikely that every employee gets their input valued. The game of favoritism is older than Amazon, even older than the written word. Usually, a small clique gets to the top and gets their input valued quite a lot - at the expense of everybody else. Some people are more talented in office politics than others.

For the "everybody else", it means either curry favour with the clique or get out.

The minority of conservatives in progressive cities on the West Coast are cheaper to replace than the majority of liberals, though. It's how the market works.

That's if you assume the majority of employees agree. Most either don't care or are scared to speak out.
