I’m not in those circles but I suspect many in management are not trained that “loyalty” is a two-way dynamic. Honestly I don’t think it’s all about compensation either, that’s a signal. I.E. the company is willing to invest in me. I once worked at a large company where the pay was average but they had an extremely healthy company culture to where I truly believed that the company cared about its employees and community. As a result most people there were happy and were (or were on track to become) lifers. The culture wasn’t for me but it was interesting to see that sometimes compensation is not everything with the right culture. However if the relationship is “transactional” then compensation becomes everything.
