The people who are there to solve interesting problems quit [0]. The people who are there for the cash stay.
The vast majority of any large organisation are in the second category, so your statement is 100% correct.
Whether the organisation loses something because the first category leaves, is open to debate. I think they would.
[0] because they now have the experience (and option at other organisations) of working from home full-time, which reduces their exposure to corporate bullshit and pointless meetings.
It’s a job, if you’re not there for the pay, you’re also hurting every other worker by reducing the market price for similar labor.
The people who are there to “solve interesting problems” are there to do so for pay. But, they can also get paid by other employers, who can offer more sensible employment terms.
