I would bet most of the employees they want aren’t the ones they let go, but probably a lot more who went somewhere else.
Lots of good employees leave because even with a great boss, if your boss isn’t getting promoted, you might not have a path for promotion without lateraling into something you don’t like, with new people and new relationships who might be worse.
If you’re going to do all that, you might just do it in a new company.
It’s always easier for companies to richly reward new hires vs existing employees.

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve stayed at some bad jobs because of great bosses. As long as pay keeps increasing, promotions are an easy thing to not care about. But the second my boss sucks, or my value isn’t appreciated, I start looking for a new job. At my previous employer, I stuck around for 18 months to try to help guide a new management team that absolutely sucked. They didn’t figure it out, so I’m gone. But I had been with that company for 6 years through good and bad because previous leaders were fantastic.
