I've recently joined a company that had everyone of their workers quit besides 1 guy that managed to turn the ship around. That one guy left standing stood up and told the management that people aren't being paid enough for their work, they don't like working long hours for so little and basically a lot of the points many people on here.

The same week, our CEO did a live broadcast of the 4th quarter results and proudly claimed a record breaking year with nearly $500million in profit (not revenue). So I guess we did have the budget?
