In my career I spent close to $70 million dollars and ran a 98.5% plus compliance compared to industry norms of 85 to 95%.
This is the business environment in which we live today. The best long term employees are harassed to the point they leave, their positions given to someone who'll do the job for two or three dollars less per hour. The funny thing is, management never seems to understand that kaos and sub-par performance are going to go along with the process. That' isn't a put down to the person who replaces. It's just that you can't obtain 26.5 years worth of experience in thirty days.
In the last two years at my primary job, I witnessed about 66% of long term staff forced out. This concern lost thousands of years worth of savey and competence, and never batted an eyelash.
Been hanging around where my dad works? He's management and they've done it to him too. They can hire someone in at less than half his salary and way less vacation time. They've made the job so rotten and annoying that he's praying for the place to close down. As long as he can officially retire (he's 58), he'll be fine.
