Pay and benefits make it hard to leave.

They will take advantage of hard workers. Same pay, same title, same job, but because you do what it takes to ensure your group, team, and boss all look good, you will endure additional restrictions like trying to schedule time off. Basically, your boss will come to solely rely on you to do everything anyone else is not doing what they are supposed to.

It's so bad that you'll only be allowed to take days off if one of the other hard workers hasn't scheduled a day off. From what I've seen, that equates to only about 20% of the team. So now you have the normal "no more than 3 people off at a time (from the whole group of 20)" and "no more than 1 person off from the group of hard workers (approx 4 people including yourself)."

You're supposed to reward your hard workers, not punish them. That is why we do it. That is why we don't just coast by.

All you're doing is going to make us quit or get fired because we have to call in sick just to take a day off. Sorry we care about making you look good.

I guess what we are really doing is covering for your poor management skills, which unfortunately appear to be so poor that you can't even see the near future of what happens when you do this to your hard workers.
