Employee retention has been a huge part of my job for over a decade. In the professional world, employees rarely leave over money.
It’s generally about opportunities to do new things/grow in their career (which is distinctly different from compensation), a culture problem (which compensation will not fix), or an engagement problem (poor leadership)
I’m sure your anecdotal experience clearly changes how the science of studying human behavior works.
That’s why COVID boosters were so pointless - your cousins brother’s friend got sick from the booster so obviously they’re full of metals that solidify in your circulatory system.
The only way I can see what he mean making sense is that he’s talking about the people making more than low 6 figures. I can totally see someone making 300k a year not leaving because of money but because they wanna do something new.

When I was younger, at least. Old me doesn’t give a shit anymore.

An argument born from being a literal expert in something is not “anecdotal”

This is well-understood information with literally millions of data points
I’ve heard that people leaving Amazon do so because of the environment/culture there, even though Amazon pays very well.
Are you upvoting yourself with bots or what’s going on here? You seem to be making very sure to drive the point that it definitely ISN’T money lol.
They sound like someone who’s completely disconnected from the financial realities of 95% of workers lmao

It’s almost never about money, once you hit salary-exempt professionals.
