When my wife was working overnight shifts art a group home for adults with developmental disabilities, the private company that ran a bunch of them noticed growing employee dissatisfaction. Sure, the employees were making $12.50/hr., dispensing meds and dealing with behaviors that could get pretty hairy.

But management had a plan.

They announced an incentive program, where the employee who got the most done on their shift list weekly would get a 2-liter bottle of soda pop.

What they got was my wife's 2-week notice.

To try to keep their best employee, they offered a 50-cent raise.

Uh, nope.
