Losing Employees to Other Companies 


Diego: That’s three in six months! 


Natalie: What’s three in six months? 


Diego: That’s three of this company’s employees who have been hired away by other companies. First, there was Lamar. I wasn’t surprised that headhunters were interested in Lamar, since he was clearly a rising star. 


Natalie: Yeah, Lamar was a tough loss. His unique set of skills is hard to duplicate. 


Diego: You’re telling me! We haven’t been able to find a replacement 1. After Lamar, there was Sariah. Sariah is a classic case of brain drain. There are great jobs in McQuillanland, with lucrative 2 pay and a low cost of living. I’m not surprised Sariah took that job. 


Natalie: Sariah was very talented. We couldn’t match the offer she received and she took the better deal. 


Diego: And today, Melinda tells me that she’s probably going to accept an offer from a startup that’s made her an offer she can’t refuse. 


Natalie: Not Melinda, too! You know what, I think I’m finally catching 3 on. Maybe we should be putting out feelers for better job offers ourselves. 


Diego: No, not you, too! Before long, I’ll be the only one left here. I thought you’d help me talk Melinda into staying. 


Natalie: No, not me. You know what they say: If you can’t beat them, join them!
