&gt;your best employees are the ones tied to your office and location, not mercenary college grads shopping around every couple years for a raise.<p>My experience disagrees. In my experience, the best employees, by definition, will have other options. Worst case, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, or whoever else will be willing to pay to relocate them to the Bay Area or Seattle. The ones that are tied to your company, the ones who can&#x27;t get a job anywhere else, are more likely to be a drag on productivity than a boost.
