It's also easier to retain great employees if you treat them well, don't insult them in word, deed, or pay, and generally behave like a mature adult instead of an overgrown, incompetent baby.

Too bad most employers seem constitutionally incapable of executing on that list :)

I also doubt that we shared an employer. It's more likely that employers are universally flawed in the same ways. But if we did, interesting!
