I would argue that you have presented a chicken and egg problem.
As a business owner I am reluctant to offer a new entrant the best pay “that the market can offer”. Working conditions - a company can only offer the best within their means.
I know that good faith must comes from both sides, and a company has to offer something worthwile in return. Like any type of relationship, its a two way street.
But a sense of entitlement firstly, and then maybe if the company is lucky that the employee will care and take responsibility - that is a relationship one better not enter from the onset, if it can be detected ahead of time. Its just the wrong value set.
I would also add that a company that displays the same kind of entitlement towards its workers, is also not worth an employee’s further attention.
So do you regularly increase employee salaries to match their demonstrated competency and responsibility? Or are you like most employers, giving new hires better pay than your current top performers, incentivising your top performers to find a better paid job somewhere else?
