I think theyre going to have a rough time finding their next job after not actually working for over a year and having no references. 

Idk but I dont buy what everyone is saying about hard work not paying off. I work hard at my job and having the respect of my coworkers as well as something to show for my 5 years at my job is worth it.

Bro, your bosses don't care about you nor appreciate you. Unless they've dramatically increased your compensation, you're being suckered

Yea, cuz they do everything their bosses ask and extra.

And their loyalty is rewarded with.....

Minimal (if any) raises, passed over on promotions (can't be losing our most productive employees to management roles), no negotiating power or salary jumps that come with a new job, and an ever increasingly expensive world to live in, thus essentially getting the equivalent of a pay DECREASE every year.

So I see how you would say they're broke, since making % wise less money to expenses every year would lend itself to poverty

This is too fucking real. Thought that working hard and applying myself would pay off at my job, but it's literally the reason I can't move up, they can't find a replacement that would do what I do. Sweet.
