I could cite to literally thousands of exampes, from the 20-something that pouts and withdraws because they (after 3 days on the job) "know more than the boss" to a new hire quitting (via a call from her mother) after her first day because, I didn't pay enough attention to her" ... nevermind the fact that I was involved in attempting to prevent a abor walk-out.

If I win the lottery or (get off my lazy ass and) enter a Doctoral Program, I plan an academic examination of my anecdotal observations.
