   Everyone has options, not all of them the best possible. If an   
   employer chooses to insult and degrade his employees and an employee   
   is in a stiutation where he sees no alternative but to submit to the   
   indignity, then the employer can't expect his employees to show   
   commitment, trust and loyalty.   
      
   Quite the opposite, the employer becomes the enemy and an employee is   
   not going to go out of his way to be helpful. I can only speak for my   
   line of work, but there must be similar situations in other   
   professions. For example If I noticed in passing a production line   
   that a component was close to failure or a parameter was close to   
   being exceeded, leading to production stoppage and loss of money, then   
   in my present employment I would as a matter of course interrupt my   
   passing and remedy the situation. If my employer were my enemy, I   
   would look in a different direction, think to myself "fuck the cunt"   
   and keep on walking.   
      
   But if that's the choice an employer makes in his choice of workforce   
   relations and motivation management , like you said it's his own   
   choice and he'll get what he asks for.
