Banange, why do employers get mad when a person searches for a better job?

Question

Okay, first of all, that first word is an exclamation in Luganda that we use to start a sentence when we can't fathom something: like the fact that employers get mad about an employee searching for a different job. Glad to teach you my native language.

But back to the main question, what is the big fuss about a person wanting a job that pays him/her more money? Why can't the employers understand? I feel like if a job pays me a certain wage and I have to budget that money a certain way, why not look for another job that will pay me more so that I don't have to be as tight with money as I am now?

I feel it's weird that they would actually get mad about someone actively looking for a better job to live a better life.

Answer 1

Capitalists don't like it when you have a possibility of doing better than they want to let you. You just told him he doesn't have a leash on you.



They hate unions for the same reason.



In Capital's wastelands, workers are not supposed to ever have the upper hand. Not. e v e r. The boss is supposed to have the upper hand.



They always whine, and sometimes they kill, when they don't have it.



ADDED: howdy from the belly of the beast, brother!

Answer 2

They may accuse you of not being loyal or being greedy. But don't mind them. Just think of the greener pasture on the other side.
