> But as soon as you find a good job with a decent manager that pays 50% more, you are going to leave.

Well yes, I would. But that doesn't mean it's only about money.

> And you are going to continue lose more of your motivations because you know that you can earn more.

Partly agree. I know I can do more and be in a role with more responsibility. If I find a new job as a manager/team lead which pays same or 10% less, I would actually go for it. Because in the long run I may move up to director/VP level. So maybe money is important as I mentioned, but it's not the only thing.

> So Money is important. You can't keep good, motivated, high performing employees only with a good pay check. But you can't keep them without a good pay check either.

Totally agree.
