    Training juniors as if nothing happened will not provide you but the economy with seniors. You don’t own people.

      Pay your seniors then. Changing jobs is a hassle. No one will do it if they are happy with their current job. Give them also work from home, so not even moving due to a partner will make the senior change jobs.

        Yes. But if you are the only one producing seniors their market value will increase to the extent where you cannot afford to keep them.

            If I were to get long-term WFH with enough salary to manage my own living, I might just delete my LinkedIn etc accounts.
            Not looking to climb any corporate ladder. I know what I am good at and that’s what I apply for.
