I'm always entertained by the fact that employers have been pushing an environment of easily replaceable labour, little training, negative reinforcement and declining benefits, and yet they still hold the idea that their work force should be loyal and happy to sacrifice for the good of the company. My first 'management' job involved developing sales programs for a sales force. We were constantly training new people to replace others, with my superiours wondering why people left as soon as they had any better opportunity.
As I said then, and it applies today. If you treat your employees as disposable, your employees will treat your company as disposable.
