what suprises me is that one of benefits (we are told in the UK) of the US economic model is that its really easy to find work and people can move about easily. From the description of a lot of US employers I've heard here how come you stay in these places with these awful employers.

As for the removing people who have got another job that does happen in the UK sometimes but if you gave whatever notice was in your contract and then your employer told you to leave now they would have to pay you in lieu of notice (which I would be quite happy with).

>The only thing that concerns me is the practice of immediately firing anyone applying for other jobs. Do you expect your employees to not want advancement or greater responsibilities or new training opportunties, etc? Shouldn't everyone be constantly looking to better themselves? If you left a job that you had worked for 5 years and worked long and hard at, wouldn't you expect a good recommendation when you left and not immediate firing? I ask because the company I work for does the same thing. The last individual to leave came in and gave a 4 week notice in writing and was told immediately to leave they were fired. Our company does not give out recommendations in any way for any reason for anyone. Of course I did not know this when I accepted the position! There sometimes are alot of things you don't learn until months after you've been in a job and you've committed yourself.
