In today’s economic situation it is almost impossible to understand why people who currently have jobs and a means to pay their bills, would ever leave their current jobs. It is not like we are still back in the 90’s and all it took to find a job was to throw a rock and pick what ever it hits as our employment. Today’s economic market is one where, when a person is unemployed, the status of being unemployed is one that lingers for a long time. Yet people are still leaving their jobs and the reasons include some examples such as unfair working conditions, abusive employers, unethical practices, drama at the work place, dead end jobs, and some who are fortunate find better opportunities.
            A very common reason for quitting that I have come across is the abusive boss. An abusive boss can cause a person to quit because they can make the working environment a nightmare. More commonly it has to do more with personality, as some employers can show a lack of professionalism. If you were to imagine yourself in this sort of working environment, imagine how you would feel if you were dealing with a boss who lacked the manners to treat you properly, who constantly under-minded everything you did, or made you their perpetual scapegoat. Under these hellish conditions, would you not also leave? 
 
What if the pay is very low? Because of the recent economic situation, a lot of the jobs that are available come at the cost of a very low pay for a massive quantity of work. These jobs are often a dead end. Though some people would stay because of the comfort of having a steady pay, many do choose to leave as they find that they are capable of better. What they come to realize is that in order for them to be able to have greater opportunities, they must take a step backwards and quit before they are stuck in an endless spiral, which is only going to waste their time
            Though a tough economy often means that people would be willing to lower their standards in order to find work, what it does not mean is that people would be willing to sell themselves short and do damage to their own integrity and accept being treated less than they believe that they are worth. Because of this, even while our nation is in a recession, people are still willing to leave their current employers rather then deal with unfair treatment.
