No, that's flat out wrong.  If management has no loyalty to you, why should 
they expect any from you?

Ask yourself this question:  If you were hired into this bar and the next 
week, the guy who trained you was gone, would you ask why?  Personally, I've 
always been of the mindset that whoever is going to train anyone I help hire 
is going to be the best one suited to do so - if not me, then the best person 
in X position, the one that gets it all right, and I'd hope most managers do 
the same.

So, that being said, if I saw crew vanishing like that without cause, I'd be 
asking why - so what if the new guy can sling drinks slightly faster?  Is he 
hotheaded, is he dependable, is he a thief?  Get a hard working crew who's 
honest, reliable, and willing and able to get the job done, and then work on 
keeping them there.  Everyone is replaceable, true, but employee replacement 
shouldn't be a GOAL, it should be a last resort.

How do I pour? What is 'cl', 'oz' and 'pt'? How should I handle glassware?.
