    I haven’t had that experience. I was only a boss for a short period of time, and I was the one who quit, so I don’t know.

    I am not sure but, the attitude, performance and reliability of the employee must be taken into account.People have lives outside of where they work and sometimes things happen to the point that someone has to prioritize.

    No! They have a "disruption" and work other employees harder to fill in the gap and don't hire a replacement.

    It really depends on the situation. If you have an unhappy employee who is always negative about their job there is only so much a boss can do. On the other hand, if you have an employee who is productive, engaging, with a positive attitude and strives to do their very best, and then quits. Then this would be something to think about.
