Employers unworthy of their employees, part [mumble]

[unixronin]

The son of a friend has spent the last five years working for a small real-estate development company.  They wouldn't advance him, or train him, or pay him what he was worth, and he has a wife and a mortgage.  So, after five years, he gave in his notice to move on to a better opportunity with more pay and benefits.

Many employers, in this position, would at least wish him well, if not see if they could make him an offer to make it worth his while to stay.

These fuckers fired him, apparently out of spite for having the temerity to leave.

He's going to be fine.  He has three job offers in hand, all of them for better jobs than he just left.  I like to think that when the economy finally drags itself out of the toilet and recovers to the point that it's no longer an employer's market, employers like this one will suddenly find themselves with all their staff quitting and unable to hire replacements, because the word's gone out that they're assholes who treat their people like dirt.
