I would imagine the best employees quit because they thought it was unfair to be paid the same or almost the same as people who know and contribute a lot less. It would have been better to just pay everyone above the market by some percentage but this would not make for a sexy headline.

The best employees wouldn't give a shit what someone else is getting paid as long as they are being fairly compensated. You can always ask for more money, if you're as good as you claim you are you will definitely get it. I'm going to go with my gut and say this is just crabby, bitter griping from a few ex-employees.

I imagine you're correct about why they quit. I don't see why that has anything to do with what I wrote, any more than I understand the dig at companies seeking publicity. (What could possibly be next? A pop star doing drugs?)
