Everyone has their "jump ship" price


I tend to disagree. People jumping too much here and there are not "fighters", and I certainly do not want them in my team. I might prefer "average" but ones that I can trust rather than top performer who can leave anytime. It's not just about technical skills...


This is known as the Dead Sea effect.
