This is sometimes referred to as the 'Dead Sea Effect'.[1]

The same way that water carries salts and other minerals to the Dead Sea, and then the water evaporates while the salts accumulate.

Similar effect with hiring a mix of good and bad people, and over the time the good ones leave because they have options while the bad ones stay and accumulate.
