Agreed. I've already gotten my team the best raise/promotion that I could. If they can find better at a different company, I wish them well.
And that's not sarcastic. I genuinely wish them well. It hurts to let a good employee go, and finding/training a replacement sucks, but we're all kind of stuck in this shitty US corporate culture together, and we have to look out for ourselves.

Then again, this employee has just presented you with evidence that maybe your compensation isn't competitive, which is something you can bring to the higher ups to increase your budget. If you're not competitive, you'll have retention problems and business will ultimately suffer. So you got the best rate you could at the time with the information available, but competing offers could change that equation.
