>Your company wants the opposite of this. Leaving both your job and your family is a lot tougher than only leaving your job.

Boss here. Please have a life outside of work. Get some hobbies, side projects, and friends. It makes you more emotionally stable and secure when upper leadership makes decisions that you think are wack.

Also, making it difficult to leave actually decreases moral. Consider: your boss is abusive, but you can't quit because you can't afford a lower paying job - moral tanks.
