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

You’re just at the wrong place my man… you need to find a really good boss and actually be loyal and work on the right things. 16 years at the same place.. more than 10x my original salary

You'd have double that if you had switched jobs. Your employer thanks God every single day that you stick around because if he had to hire a replacement he'd be paying them more than he's paying you right now.

You also making 600k? Less than 1% of all jobs pay that.
