True. In times of high turnover, quality suffers. 

There's also the other side of the coin - what about the people who are
responsible for the lack of quality?  A lot of mediocre people tried to jump
onto the "gravy train" when technologists were being paid more.  They need
to be weeded out, and that's a big part of what has been happening in the
technology workforce since Y2K.  The sad truth is that good and talented
people have suffered as well as the charlatans. 

Cheers,
Gordon
