Money isn't the only driving factor that cause people to leave. Some have even taken downgrades to get another career. The retiree's feel, well, it's no longer their problem, let someone else be the hero and speak out.
Let's be real, we've been groomed to give what's politically correct, because upper management really doesn't want to hear the truth, because that means they would have to do something now that they've been informed that a problem exists.
