every machinist we have ever hired tells the same story, they became the key guy at a shop, do that for a year or two, ask for more money, the shop declines, they start job searching, they get offered a job here, and then the shop tries to bend over backwards begging them to stay. whereas if they just met the guy halfway when he asked for more, he'd have never found a new, higher paying, better hours job.
a lot of bad management.
