There are a few possibilities in that situation:

(1) The engineers are not actually all leaving - it may feel like that, but maybe it's cheaper to hire a bunch of junior devs and filter out anyone that doesn't buy the loyalty bullshit and isn't content with 3% annual raises

(2) They don't need decent or senior engineers, hiring and managing cheaper juniors is effective enough and cheaper

(1) HR/Management are incompetent and the business is doomed to failure

Management doesn’t care, because they don’t spend day in day out training these engineers only to see them leave.

I mean, that’s an achievement in itself I guess, but ultimately you are mostly training them because you hope they will help you out later.
