>>but most companies don’t actually want to lose valuable employees. The word 'valuable' is just a marketing term. Just like the work 'rockstar developer'. Unless you are like the top 1 - 2 people relevant to a very important project you really are not valuable in any meaningful sense to the company. You might be expensive in terms of time to replace. But you really are not valuable in any real sense. These companies have high attrition rates, people leave all the time and they just do fine.
