Long-term unemployment leads to disengagement and apathy

It's pretty even. Workers at all levels quit all the time. I've been both employee and employer.

One employee of mine stole $70,000 (about $200,000 today). It very nearly wiped the company out. (If you can't make payroll, you are forced to close.)

Yes, and that's allowed. If anything workers are much more gracious in this regard - typically termination happens quickly, with no two week notice. Workers typically at least give that, which they're not required to at all in the US. It's purely goodwill and generosity, so you're welcome.

Okay? And Bayer Pharmaceuticals gave thousands of people HIV/AIDS. What's your point here?

We gotta look at the big picture, not your experience.
