They promised me (when I was first hired) more programming and less report writing/technical support etc. They continued to ignore me, so I moved on.
Give a hand, not a hand-out.
I've left every job because I was poached with money.
Roughly the same for me. Lost my job due to the great economy crap and the only alternate I found was a contracting position. Said contracting position offered me pretty much the same hourly I was making at my full time job with no benefits. A month later they gave everyone a job cut across the board. A year later I asked for at least cost of living increase, pointing out that from the 12 engineers hired with me, I was one of only two the customer kept on, and was turned down. Found another company with benefits and told them they just needed to match my current hourly and they happily said yes.
If you don't want to pay benefits, at least compensate with sufficient hourly wage...
