The incentives are broken for software engineering companies. Most of them are operated with a startup mentality, aka we will be around for 18 more months so let’s optimize for that. All of the employee benefits are incentivizing them to stick for the short term and then move to other pastures. Or you know they could instead offer high 401k, pensions, career options for people over 55y.o. etc. But it is always easier to burn though fresh grad meat, and let the dumpster fire for someone else to deal with.
