Maybe they felt unappreciated, or overworked. You employ them, you don't own them. Why is the modern workplace starting to sound more like slavery than a job?
- dllthomas 13y ago"Why is the modern workplace starting to sound more like slavery than a job?" I don't think this is a terribly recent development.
- ipince 13y ago?? So one cannot feel frustrated if an employee leaves, or you're running a slave shop? (I'm aware I'm exaggerating your comment. My point is OP can feel frustrated/angry if an employee leaves. It doesn't mean he's exploiting his employees).
- monksy 13y agoI'm not suggesting that it is unreasonable to feel disappointed when an employee leaves. However if a "star employee" leaves... usually it means that the employee didn't feel like a star employee. You're dealing with other individuals who have different goals in life. Don't expect them to be exactly like you or be completely dependent upon you.
