UPDATE: Phil Gerbyshak has a spot-on comment on this: Employees tend to quit their bosses, not their companies

Not sure I liked this. The employees were acting out of “two wrongs make a right”. Maybe it got so bad they felt they had no choice. But they should have displayed enough trust—or even respect—that doing this sort of act privately would have had an effect on their employer. Losing four employees in one go is a big enough deal for ‘Scott’, regardless of how it was done, plus if this chap were this bad, it technically opens the four up to legal action.

IMO, their actions were justified. If he was so bad that 4 people couldn't stay around any longer then he got what he deserved, and no, they can not be held responsible for what happens as a result. Employees can quit anytime they want.

well. i have done it before to prove to my boss that he ought to treat staff as human beings and as partners working towards the same goal i.e to increase bottom line. when i chose to leave others followed suit.
in any organization the boss needs to identify the leader and reach the group thru him/ her
