I’ll institute a policy of no layoffs if folks get paid the same as government jobs.

In all seriousness though this perspective is a double standard. Hiring managers can’t typically setup these policies, and when you leave after a short time they get screwed.

Then while the job market for this industry is fluid, you’ll need to find other ways to entice people to stay.

It seems that in a hot market hiring managers are each other’s enemy- they’re competing for labor, after all. They are providing incentives to get your workers to jump. So maybe the framing shouldn’t be employers vs. workers.
