Maybe tech companies should provide their employees with pay raises so they are not forced to go to another company for that raise. New hires are often paid more than people that have been in the same role for years. You seem to argue that the employee should choose to accept a mediocre salary that does not keep up with inflation and the indignity of the new hire in the hope that just maybe in a few years a higher position will open up and that they will somehow out compete the other people vying for it. If they don't get it they should just continue to wait until the next opportunity. Or they could just go get a position doing the same thing at a new company and get a pay raise that would likely pay them the same rate as if they got the promotion. It has nothing to do with loyalty and everything to do with logic and not selling the years of your life at a discount to a corporation that does not even know you exist. Note: I am about to start my 4th job in 6 years. My pay went from 55k to 200k in that time. Way less than many others on this board make but an unthinkable number for me and if I had stayed at the first job I would probably be making 70k maybe.
