The owners want to own you body and soul, you are just a number. Profit is all that they care about, not the people that actually make the money for them, yet if they did the right thing by people profit would follow, it really is not that difficult. I heard it mentioned that turnover is in the high 30% - feels like more.

I had been in the company 15 minutes, The managers live in fear and do nothing to protect their team otherwise it would be their neck on the line, it got so bad I physically hated Sunday's, I just had to leave, I was having dark thoughts - when I told my wife I was leaving - her words "thank God, I get my husband back - the kids get their dad back".
