business rule in the book is about supply and demand. If we are losing staff because of salaries, we must consider the competing industries’ offers or at least sweeten up the deal with other benefits. I can speak for myself and say that I much prefer working
in this environment instead of a high volume wafer fab, but I want to be paid in a reasonably close range.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'll echo Noah Clay's comment about employee-turnover sharing a maxim, "cemeteries are filled with irreplaceable people". <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I've managed equipment and facilities staff for more than 33 years with people coming and going. In the beginning I took it personally when someone decided to move on. That's no longer the case. We've yet to identify anyone we could not
replace. When we post a position we'll often get 50-100 applicants. Typically only a handful are actually qualified yet among this small group of the "qualified" we find wonderful talent. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the beginning I had anxiety when staff decided to leave. This evolved to an appreciation that periodically I'd be forced to land on my feet and fill that position for duration and find ways to harness and learn from others in our front
line to keep operations on track. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">On occasion I have also remained friends with and followed the careers of past employees. While some former staff have excelled most were no better, and often worse off, in their careers. On a couple of occasions we've rehired appreciative
employees with great success.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Fabology" requires a unique set of skills. Government and university research labs face inadequate budgets and we deal with legacy equipment and tools. This requires a special skills. The rewards of the job are rubbing elbows with extraordinary
young talent, being part of a community and learning wonderful things - I learn something new every day at my job. These are the privileges of the job and someone who does not appreciative such things or are unhappy, we encourage them to leave. We "develop
them out". <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ultimately, there's no point trying to influence an employee with vaulting ambition. And on occasion, we find people with so much talent that in fairness to them we go out of our way to help them find rewarding positions. <o:p></o:p></p>

We have very limited discretionary leverage/funds for employee retention at Penn. This would typically include a one-time bonus, salary adjustment and/or a flexible work-from-home arrangement.<br>
<br>
I've encountered a few folks who've been through poaching recently; the "poached" were very valuable and irreplaceable employees...or so it was thought. In all cases, they've been able to find great replacements, often upgrading and a wave of fresh ideas from
the "new blood".<br>
<br>
I do wish you the best -<br>

from lab staff. I am curious if you have experienced similar challenges at your sites and what measures, if any, you employ to discourage that from happening.<br>
