Purely empirical of course, but evidence none the less.
About six months ago the company that I used to work for took a turn for the worse management wise. Without going into too much boring detail, they basically decided that due to the current economy (I was in Michigan working for a auto parts supplier), they could do whatever they wanted to their employees, including laying them off for a week here and there, cutting pay and mandating ridiculous work hours.
When I started there last year, I was on a team of 5. Over the course of three months, every single team member left for greener pastures. That does not count the people on different teams that have left. While I would agree that on any single decision it is only a whining threat, when those decisions start to add up it points to a bigger issue and will eventually cause "top-flight" admins to seek employment elsewhere.
