The parent specifically mentioned keeping senior level employees. Juniors can easily jump ship for pay raises, but as you get senior, other values start to becomes more important. Your wage level is likely “good enough” and so stuff like stable working hours, a team that you can rely on, stability etc. become more of a deciding factor, especially once you start settling and having a family. 10 years + doesn’t sound implausible, especially if you had 27 years to build the team. The ones that stick around for longer than the initial period tend to stick around long.
