will leaving a battery on a charger ruin the battery? (all kinds- cell and rechargables)

It can do, but not necessarily.
Some chargers reduce the charge current once it detects that the cell or battery is fully charged. Others don't.
The charger's manufacturer should say, in the user manual, whether or not you should disconnect it after the recommended time.

With the charger connected to mains and ON - yes the battery will get damaged. All kind of charger and batteries would get damaged.
If the charger is not ON or not connected to mains normally no damage would occur.

my charger recommends disconnecting it. Plus, at work we all have notebooks some of us travel and use our computers on the road. The funny things is that those of us that travel more do not have our battery fail faster. The people that mostly have them connected batteries fails just about as often.

NiCad batteries don't do well when left on a charger for long periods of time. NiMh and lead acid batteries like being trickle-charged on a continuous basis.

Yes, it tends to overcharge them and reduces their life.
