Companies are for profit organizations, not daycares.
I look at employees as being an investment and part of the companies assets. It sure looks good on them when they end up hiring new employees at great expense to replace what they already had. Shareholders seem to look at today's bottom line and not investing in the future. This will only last so long before they run into trouble.
