			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We already know why a lot of employees leave. But what this article does is present the results of a survey among employees <strong>and their employers.</strong></p>
<p>What may surprise those unempathic executives is that they <strong><em>seriously underestimate</em></strong> their employees. They actually believe that there are less people who want to leave than there really are. But what&#8217;s worse is that they think that employees will change their mind about leaving <strong><em>for much less</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Ha.</p>
<p>&#8216;Nuff said. <a href="http://career-advice.monster.com/career-change/job-satisfaction-survey/home.aspx?WT.mc_n=MNL000283" target="_blank">Click here to see the details of the survey.</a></p>
