I can be that idiot. Where do you work and are they hiring?
Well I once asked a group of employees if someone was holding a gun to their head and making them stay after one said it was like a prison around there. One of my more motivational moments as postmaster when I was at Shawnee. 
. They didn’t quit but a couple found themselves unemployed when their performance didn’t improve.

People want to talk bad about current generations, but this stuff is all kinds of the reasons that there's no such thing as company loyalty. The only way to get meaningful raises is to change jobs.
Dang I bet that really set them back on their road to financial peace.Well I once asked a group of employees if someone was holding a gun to their head and making them stay after one said it was like a prison around there. One of my more motivational moments as postmaster when I was at Shawnee.
Every job you have ever had or will have you will either quit or get fired. 
Sheesh. Sounds like this . . .I actually had an employer try to tell me he was gonna sue me if I didn't come back to work on Monday. Yeah ... That's not how this works ...
This same attorney told me, and I quote, "Just because we give you sick leave and vacation time does not mean you can use it." I had a kid (grade school age) in the hospital with pneumonia at the time. And 2 more younger kids at home.

I’ve been self employed since 1998, and after trying to find and keep help, I found it’s just easier to stay small and do all the work myself.
Yep, I'm actually doing this right now. When I got hired, they were promising me a good raise and more benefits at my 1-year mark (security companies have a massive turnover rate) and lo and behold, I didn't get my good raise (No raise at all actually) and no extra benefits, despite the fact that I've been one of the best guards this company has ever had. They would rather keep hiring new chuckle heads instead of paying the good guards more and then wondering why not many stay longer than 6-8 months (at the high end).
Self employed here also, I ain't never going back. I used to think I was lazy and unmotivated, turns out I just don't do well working for the man. Once I started working on my own, I got my hustle on. I believe our work culture in the US is actually quite dysfunctional, it's too much like a master/slave relationship. Ironically, I also believe this is due in part to labor laws that were ostensibly written to help workers.
There have been points in my work where I could have hired help and grown, but I don't want the headache. Again, there is a bit of irony here in that much of my rationale behind staying solo is due to the complications and burdens brought on by labor laws.

There was a group of us that were employed in Waco and working for a sister company here in Tulsa on loan. Work on Waco was slowing down but Tulsa was busy so a few of us wanted to transfer. Policy was you needed approval from your manager to transfer. I said I'm out and manager signed the transfer paperwork. A friend's manager said he wouldn't do it. Friend said I'm either transferring or quitting. Manager still wouldn't sign. Friend quit, but policy is also if you quit you're not rehireable in the company so he just moved on from the company altogether (he knew this).
