Now I'm more convinced than ever that it's better to pay the price of an owner leaving
And it's also worth to pay the price to get the owner to not leave. So many companies seem to think penny-pinching is worth it, or only start giving out raises when actual attrition starts going up and many more people are already invisibly in the process of quitting.
Sometimes you can’t pay the owner not to leave. I’ve had two colleagues die. Another one had a stroke. Granted, I’m now around for like 20 years and a bit, things like that are rare, but no money in the world could have helped in these cases.
And sometimes people are just ready to move on. It doesn’t need to be because they’re underpaid or it’s a bad work environment. I was there and just wanted a change to a somewhat different type of work.
