Unfortunately, employers demand unwavering loyalty (it's too bad that doesn't go both ways any more). The first thought that you might jump ship, suddenly you're "overqualified" and unhireable. There are so few jobs in America that at least 10% of the population would be willing to do yours for you at a fraction of the cost, but that brings up another issue: too many Americans are under-employed. People with doctorates, masters, BS, etc., are forced every day to settle and to swear that they're not overqualified as a direct result of companies requiring new hires to swear allegiance to their corporate flag. People with too many jobs over a certain time-frame are looked down on just as much as people who are unemployed for a large gap on their resume.

You know it's wrong to think that people can just walk out whenever they please.

You don't honestly believe any of this drivel your spouting, do you? Are you playing devil's advocate or do you truly believe that workers aren't entitled to fair compensation and secure jobs? Do you think that just because you can pay your Guatemalan gardener $2 an hour and get away with it since no one will enforce wage laws for illegals that you can treat any worker the same way?
