'Don't be surprised when they quit': Boss shocked that employee followed his advice to "go work somewhere else"

It's important to take your job seriously, but these bosses have lost sight of why their employees show up every day. It seems like some managers are so obsessed with their jobs that they think everyone feels the same way. They want their employees in the door at 7AM and leaving at 9PM. They want the employees to work weekends or work at the drop of a hat. They'll take advantage of their workers as much as they can. 

What these bosses are forgetting, though, is that although you can be passionate about your job, at the end of the day, it's about money. If you weren't getting paid to work, you'd never set foot in the door again. That's the whole reason you're at work instead of being on a beach somewhere or spending a day with your kids. Do these bosses think their employees show up to work every day out of the kindness of their hearts? 

U/Aloy_is_my_copilot shared their story about the time their manager had this same delusion. As dedicated employees, the OP's boss told them that they needed to be loyal to the company first and foremost. That's a pretty outdated mindset. Companies don't hire people for life like they used to decades ago. Instead, in order to make any money, people have to job-hop and hope for a nice salary increase. 

After that, check out these wild stories of people who quit their jobs as quickly as they could, and never looked back.
