My experience having worked for a few small companies is that it depends on the type of woman you hire. For example if you hire a 19 year old who just moved out of the house and into her own place with a couple of roommates she is much more likely to quit or be flaky because she is young, wants to party and as you say she could meet someone or change her mind or decide to move to a different city etc.
If you hire a 40 year old woman who is married and has kids that are old enough that they don't need her every minute of every day she is much more likely to be a stable employee.
But then, the same can be said for guys. At 19 I didn't even have a regular house. I lived between Portland and Seattle crashing on people's couches, renting places with others and renting rooms. I was writing for a music magazine for a living so I was always moving around. I did that from the time I was 18 until I was 25. I then worked for a record label for 3 years. After leaving the label I moved to New Orleans for about a year then I moved to Los Angeles for about a year then I moved to Seattle and eventually back to Portland. I was a shitty employee during that time because I was always moving and deciding what I wanted to do. I probably had about 15 different jobs in the 4-5 years I moved between those different cities.
Still, what you say about cattiness is true. Women hold a grudge much longer and more intensely than guys do and it can cause some serious issues.
