It depends on what alternatives you and your team have. If you think they think can easily find better employment elsewhere after they really showed up for you as a leader and put in the effort, doesn’t really seem like it would make sense for them to stay. You don’t get a lot of second chances as a leader, the deck is stacked against you in these cases. I think it would speak volumes about your character if you also showed up for your team when it sounds like they got short changed, at the same time you have to be strategic as well, only risk standing up for your team if you can take the downside risk and find employment elsewhere if management doesn’t capitulate to your request..
