The problem with employment in America is, in most states, the employee has NO protection. Employer can fire for no reason at all, on a whim, so complaining is dangerous. The only realistic protection is to line up a new job before making waves, but if you go to all that trouble, it's easier to simply take the new job.

Obviously, those in software have it a bit better than most. It pays well enough to have a decent cushion and finding a new job isn't as difficult. In my little niche in the World, I could have a new job before I got home. Please consider most people aren't in that position.
