Yahoo had a story about people leaving their jobs or wanting to leave their jobs mainly because of their boss. Bosses realize that so many of the jobs out there that require a college education in a specific field can really be done by just about anyone with a brain so they see employees as being worth less than a dime a dozen. If an employee asks for anything, then they are considered too much of a hassle and are encouraged to look elsewhere for a job.

What’s that? You want your raise to go through on time? Well this job is for people who really love the business, not greedy people out to make money.

What’s that? You don’t want to work third shift anymore even though I told you months ago that I would change your schedule and then gave the better shift to the guy with less seniority? Maybe you should look for a job elsewhere because lots of people have it worse than you.

What’s that? You want to take a week of vacation time all at once? Well this job is more suited for people who are really dedicated to their jobs. No, you can’t roll that vacation time over.

Not to mention the fact that if you stay at your job for years and years, they’ll have to eventually give you raise after raise after raise. What’s that going to do to payroll?!  It’s better for them if you stay for as long as they can use you and then you move on.
