Having the opportunity to change jobs because you might be happier, more fulfilled or better paid somewhere else is neither privilege nor entitlement. It's pretty much a sacred right. Every single job should be like this. The decision to "coddle" and "engage" engineers is made by companies. It's their choice, and their strategy. I would even argue that this is not even close to what engineers prefer: most would definitely choose a raise, or decreased number of hours over the "happiness" thing.
