Why do people leave their jobs? Even if they’re well paid and have good benefits, many will wave goodbye as they walk out the door, never to return.

I hate to break it to you, John, but praise and recognition don't pay my mortgage or let me at least plan for a comfortable retirement.  Corporate America has broken the social contract with its employees to the benefit of its shareholders and now we're all just mercenaries doing the best we can for ourselves.  We all know that job-hopping is the only way to increase our pay in any substantive way.  2% annual raises in an era of 7% inflation are nothing more than an insult, thank you very much.
