That’s actually part of a whole chapter in World War Z. A mercenary from the rich people’s resort who later ditched them reveals that once the common people started showing up to their door rather than zombies, an immediate fight broke out between all of the residents and their staff, with most of them killing each other. The mercenaries refused to intervene because they were hired to kill infected, not normal people, and had no loyalty to the rich residents.
The whole thing was broadcast live because the owner of the resort wanted to flaunt their status during the great panic.
The Great Panic in World War Z was when the public realized there was no cure and the rabies vaccine developed did nothing against the infection. Another chapter mentions a border guard who remembered how “[travelers] gave me a look that said money wasn’t going to be good for much longer.”
In that moment I doubt their paychecks were on their mind.

The most unrealistic part. They’re mercenaries, they’re loyal to money

I mean, right up until the second that they are suddenly not and the relationship needs to get redefinded.
If you hire a guide to take you out in the wilderness, be polite.
What money will there be in societal collapse?
