Not in some feel good "everyone is special" kind of way, but even if you had hypertwins (both genetically and experiencially identical) where they only difference was one was working for you for a year and the other wasn't. the one with experience AT YOUR COMPANY is worth a whole years salary more, because you'd have to train that new one for a year to get them operating at the same level. But it's even worse than losing the salary though, because you can often find some money somewhere to replace that cost. You CANNOT do that with time, ever.
