4. Why should it?

Benefits are earned as part of a mutual pact between employers and employees. I agree that in a number of cases, employers breach this. They've turned the tables on the model of the person who devoted a lifetime of work to a company and was suitably rewarded. People are wrongly fired, too. I get that. I think that the model described above solves some (not all) of those problems.

However, if a person takes a job where they've signed him on with office space, benefits, maybe a gym membership, a subsidized cafeteria, insurance, etc., but he or she has the sole intention of using it as a resume fluffer, well, I have more mixed feelings about it.
