re: What do you value more in employees?

The other type is highly motivated and competent. There's never a problem with their work. The issue with them is they are constantly looking for a better opportunity somewhere else. Unless you want to give up part of the compan yto them, they know they can make more money if they go work for them selves. And then they leave with the years of training your provided them. You're left having to find someone new and then train them all over again.

Just a random thought, but if you have an all-star employee and want to keep him, and you'll make money off of their work it's a no brainer to do whatever you need to keep them.

Why let someone go only to compete with them when you can keep them closer to home for less money?
