After reading paragraph 1.  I wondered why companies get "Disgruntled
Employees".    
What could companies do that would make workers feel like they were "No
deposit - No Return"  
commodities with no intrinsic value to the company.    Where does this
feeling of " being used 
by the company till your talents were outdated,  then thrown away"  come
from.    Not investing
any money at all in training,  etc.

Then I read your paragraph number 2.

Hmm.   I guess "Disgruntled Employees"  may be,  sometimes,  the result of 
a "Caring"  corporate
environment that values the service of it's employees as much as it does
"Shareholder Value" ??
