Some fought me, others agreed. Whatever the number, a large percentage of them work in my industry.
So #1: There are NO superstars in this situation, they are ALL superstars, in both capability and general mentality. The barrier for entry is too damn high. That includes management and how they handle the "talent".

As Bt taught me, As want to work with As, B want to work with Cs. These people are As and they keep it that way. As are always in demand.
So, no worries on either side.
