Solution: teach them uber-esoterica like TCL ("The Cult
Language") so they become social pariahs thus dependent on
support from The Company, and further can't get a job anywhere
else owing to their debilitating intellectual crippling and
emotional & psychological dependencies :-)


Keeping employees 101: Show respect, recognise them, care for
them and provide opportunity for growth.  It's all about the
love; that's all anyone really wants.
