A friend of mine worked as a group leader for a major tech company for years. Put in 14 to 16 hours a day for six months to release a major project. On launch, the company gave my friend a $10,000 bonus, and gave the group pizza and a trophy. He split his bonus with his entire team. He got laid off 3 months later. He immediately started running a consultancy, and hired away most of his group. The company has since tanked.
Do the right thing for your people, and they will lay down in traffic for you if you ask them to. Screw them over, and they will milk your company dry.
