The question that should be asked is why are good staff worth more to the other organisation? If you are doing good work, then surely the current employer should be willing to give you a suitable pay rise that will disincentivate you from changing jobs. It does cost them more to hire a replacement but apparently that is too complicated for the average PHB to grasp.

Because management is betting that total dollars saved from not raising everyone’s wages is more than total dollars spent on hiring and training and other costs of people going to work elsewhere. It is not too complicated for the average PHB (what is that?) to grasp. It is known that many people will not leave or shop around for higher wages, so the bet is that letting a few people go is worth it. This especially works out for employers in environments where coworkers can and are expected to take on the duties of the person that left. In that case, hiring someone new does not cost the employer much.
