tarpden··on I Got Fired Last Week. That’s a Good Thing. Here’s Why
Is there any guarantee that your (about to be former) employer tell you the truth about why you're being canned? I don't believe so. They may just be giving you what they think is a safe answer. The real reasons for ending your employment with them could be anything (good, bad, silly, or even non-reasons). Nothing to take personally.

Perl 5 maintains that perception because of its refusal to break backward compatibility and fix longstanding warts.

tarpden··on Employee Retention
I think these basics are most important:

* don't constantly push to have your employees stay late

* if you need your employees to travel, while they're away don't pressure them to work more than their usual work day.

* don't disrespect and be a jerk to your employees

* provide reasonable sick and vacation benefits
