> their project, their baby, so to speak Yeah, same thing, sure. You realize that for 90% people, even most at the hot companies, a job is above all something they do because they want or need the money, right? And there is such a thing as joining a company and realizing that thery weren't what you expected. People leaving companies not only is a reality, it's something that can be expected. They can leave for a better option, but it's also possible that they have some kind of accident that either incapacitates or kills them. Completely undesirable, sure, but it does happen, so not even the most faithful employee is guaranteed to stay indefinitely in the company. Companies know that, and this is why things like the "bus factor" are taken into account. A project can't rest on one single person's shoulders, and almost everyone is more or less replaceable. Stop the emotional blackmail rubbish, please. I'm tired of hearing that companies are not charities and they're in mainly for the money, so why would then be wrong for a person to maximize their income? And that's without starting to consider the many, many reasons to change job, including, by the way, working on a more interesting project. And if a company doesn't want their employees to voluntarily leave, they just need to work on employee retention as much as they do in hiring. It seems that a lot of companies understood this as "prevent them to find better jobs" instead of "make better jobs for them", and, well, many of us don't consider this acceptable, nor justifiable.
