Comment on The CIO's lament: 20-something techies who quit after 1 year

Comments

TL;DR I'm losing all my programmers because I'm not paying them enough.

Exactly. If it's so easy for them to find a significantly better offer elsewhere, then he's probably paying them below the market rate. And if it costs him so much trouble to train new people to replace them, then he should be doing more to try to retain the people he has (competitive salary, decent working conditions, career path, etc.). But yeah, it's so much easier to bitch about uncommitted employees than to be a competent manager.
