What is it with employers firing people and then immediately realizing that they need their help? You might think they would have considered that before firing in the first place or, maybe, just don't fire people unreasonably if you're already short of workers. Is that too much to ask?

"It's fascinating how they thought it was your problem after you'd just been fired," commented Hal_E_Lujah.

"It's funny how many companies are entirely aware of and have statistics for their turnover rate, and yet somehow never seem to compensate for it. The only way 1 employee out should have enough effect to the point of getting screwed is if the employee accounts for 50% or more of the staff," responded gordonsp6.
