We do it because when the economy gets better, you would have to be
an idiot not to move onto a better paying job.  If you are not
an idiot, we won't be able to keep you long, and if you are, we
really don't want you anyway.  If we were hiring for something short
term, like the Y2K upgrade work was, getting someone really good at
a really low price would be fine, but if we are trying to build up
a really good team, it just doesn't make sense (and just doesn't feel
right in any case) to pay anyone a whole lot less than they are worth.
