Amen to this. One of the things that really bugs me about my employer is they invest large amounts of money to train employees on the shop floor then lay them off before they get a raise. Then they repeat the cycle.
Wouldn't it make more sense to train people as temps, figure out which ones are good employees, and then spend the money to keep them happy and loyal? It seems like you'd get more in the long run. An idea I've been pushing at work, but the powers that be don't want to hear it.

Just my two cents.
