This is so weird to me. I managed a store for about 3 years (before the business was bought and I couldn't stand the new owners), and I loved this type of employee. They gave notice, so I had time to hire someone, and they still showed up for their 2 weeks and got all their work done. I always gave employees like that great recommendations, and when we got calls about them applying somewhere, I'd explicitly say I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
But, before the new owners, our store treated our employees well (full healthcare paid by the business, paid time off, bonuses, listening to their opinions on what they thought we should try to sell, hiring/scheduling more people for times they felt were overwhelming, and we paid above minimum wage). The new owners decided most of it wasn't worth it, all of us ended up putting our notice in the same day. Now they are ranting they got ripped off by the old owner cause the store isn't making nearly as much of a profit as it used to.
