Or, possibly, because they don't find another job. I watched a documentary about corrections officers once and one thing really apalled me. There was a female officer, who got injured on the job. And because she needed surgery and couldn't work for an extended period of time, they simply gave her the boot, saying she could apply again when being fit enough. She lost all benefits of course.
That's unthinkable where I'm from and disgusting in my personal opinion.
You make me think of something relevant to another thread in which we are conversing. Think of Margaret Thatcher. If she were in another country, any in Europe or in the U.S., where do you think her ideas would be most welcome?
