True, but this doesn't really address the last part of OP's statement, that these newcomers are paid as much as if not more than the incumbents who do 90% of the work, whom I guess then leave and the overall quality of the team drop.

Sure, that's not on the new hires, and I'm certainly not saying they should voluntarily take a paycut, but that's how Baker is being run into the ground.
