Right but you're already paying out the money it sounds like, in terms of burnout and churn in employees. 20% could be cheaper.

And I guess people are grateful for training, but not if they're effectively paying 17% of their pay for that training indefinitely. They'd be idiots to take that deal.

Can't afford a good raise, but can afford to spend 60% of their time interviewing people every 6mos. Does anybody track the lost wages from the hiring process as a cost of employee churn?

Don't forget "can afford to pay replacements 20% more after people quit".
