You people are working for the wrong businesses.
My company and other SMALL businesses I know retain productive people through good times and bad. There's some shared pain in those bad times, and shared upside in the good. Why? Because we're human beings, in a small tribe, and we care about each other.
This falls on deaf ears when I'm interviewing and candidates want the prestigious name on their resume, or a game room in their office, or mega-benefits small businesses cannot provide.
I've had two productive employees leave my small business for big corporations. Two came back. One started their own small business.

- screwturner68 4y agoI've worked for very small companies (2-3 employees) and massive companies (100K+) and my biggest issue with small companies is that the slightest problem can sink a company or get you fired. In a large company if you lose a section of business nobody is happy about it but it won't put us out of business. It's pretty impersonal and you have to do a lot of pointless stuff just because but in my opinion your longevity is higher.
