Eh, as much as I would like to be able to say that the advice is too 'mercenary', it is not. It is by far the most rational piece I have read on the matter.
In my little corner of the world, a good chunk of the team quit over the past few weeks leaving a skeleton crew. I know for a fact that each and every one of those, who quit indicated very clearly why they quit ( money, benefits, limited chance of promotion ). To the best of my knowledge, nothing changed ( we didn't suddenly get a better working environment )..and, realistically, this is the best case scenario: nothing changes.
If anything,as employees we are not being mercenary enough. All the niceties employers enjoyed worked only one way..
