I'm perfectly calm, you're the one firing employees because you don't like their "Christmas Wish List". Let's say that you didn't like that person's 75k ask (again it was a wish list). Until the slowdown, it was not uncommon for experienced tech talent to get 5 figure start up packages on top of signing bonuses and moving allowances. My wife's last offer included 500k in housing assistance. In that light, a 75k startup package does not, on the surface, seem unreasonable. Since tech workers as so gossipy, I imagine the entire company knows you fired that guy for a bad list. What do you think that does for moral? Honestly, it is no wonder your perspective is that tech employees have no loyalty and leave as soon as they can find something else.
