Gosh, if only there were any way to prevent this. Like, and I'm just spitballing here, but what about: making your workplace somewhere they actually want to come back to!?

We've really internalized the idea the every job always has to completely suck ass, huh?

So? Even if they leave right after the sabbatical, you've successfully retained them for five years. That's an eternity in tech and definitely worth the expense.
