That's also good advice to managers...

turnover in your staff is not a bad thing.

Having someone just punch a clock - and doing a good job of it - in many cases isn't as profitable as having a newer staff member do it (even at ~90% effectiveness) at a much lower cost.

Everyone's job (excepting commission type work) has an upper limit pay range - once you have enough experience - where the increased efficiency gained for another year of experience is negligible to the company.

Once one reaches that position you either need to be happy, get in position for a promotion, move on to another job or work for yourself

Not anyone's "fault" just the economics of the situation.
