Case: M. Soft is a software co. established 6 years ago by PCC (a construction firm). PCC cannot give a very high salary as it would not be consistent with their other business.

MSoft decides to hire a firm SYSQS to start a training program and to improve their business operations. SYSQS does a good job and MSoft starts to reap the benefits in the form of several prestigious projects. MSoft employs 15 new people. Then in the middle of a crucial project, two senior executives leave for better remuneration. Question: What should the GM of MSoft do?
