This isn't the case in small business. It much more about personality in the smaller business world (I'm talking under 100 employees). And that can land you in the unemployment line too, of course. I work/part-owner in small firm were we have employees that have been with us since the company was founded (in 1997). I think it's all about job atmosphere. I'm not saying pay and benefits don't matter. They do. But a few of our longer term employees get offers from much bigger firms all the time, and all of them stay. We offer a competitive wage, vacation, sick days, medical, retirement plans, etc, - like all the rest. But a small company also offers something that enterprise can't. And that's valuable. You know, come to think of it, we haven't had anyone quit in like two years. We've fired a couple though. But that's another thread.
