> that will basically eliminate them

in NYC, it doesn't seem to stop quant firms. they have a term for it, although I forget what.

But if they're willing to pay it, it seems like it probably means this is a real issue rather than just a way to punish employees who leave, and it seems like they're reasonably compensating employees for the problem.

[whimsicalism → joebob42]

i think they are probably slightly disincentivizing leaving if they are only paying base salary.

someone who knows more will have to chime in, i didn't even remember this was called gardening leave

[joebob42 → whimsicalism]

Yeah, that's fair, if I only got base salary I'd be pretty strongly disincentivized to take such a deal.
