because you want someone who won't ask for a raise.

No, because I want someone who stays around to build up enough knowledge of the tech and domain to make significant contributions. Someone who is completely uninterested and uninvested is rarely worth the time investment of a relationship with them.

Ah, but do you increase the pay of said veterans as they gain more experience with your stuff? If there's no incentive like that why would they want to stick around if they could make more money elsewhere?

Yes, I work hard to grow my reports and get them promoted. I promoted >50% of my reports in the last 2 years.

I don't want to waste my time and effort on people who don't give a fuck.

huh? that is EXACTLY who he wants, not someone who will abandon the team to go elsewhere. if you look at the resume and you see someone jumping from job to job like a hooker why on Earth would anyone hire them???! absolute stupidity to even interview such a person

Because the best talent jump jobs for raises and promotion if the current company is not offering that. You are really limiting your options.
