I suspect it's always been the case that as one demographic of employees gets wise to this another comes pushing and shoving through the door to fill the seat.

- ericd 9y agoI guess the question becomes, is the experience level of the outgoing set worth enough to make it worth making a consciously better set of employee terms to target getting them in the door at a company. My intuition says that getting smarter/wiser employees plus the loyalty that comes from treating your employees fairly pays off in spades, but based on the market terms I see, I wonder, because everyone else seems to have converged on the opposite conclusion. Maybe it's long term vs short term thinking, or maybe it's just idealism.
