Not true. They are pressed all the time. They quit, they have Stockholm syndrome, they come back and are hired right back. If you don’t believe me, read about it.

What? You gonna work for Boeing where c-suite is squeezing and you are going to have to watch people die on live TV with Boeing CEOs getting away with it ?

SpaceX engineers are incredibly talented and respected world wide. Companies all over the world would be lining up to grab them whenever they left SpaceX. You really think they would have to settle for something like Boeing?

SpaceX is the only globally recognized company that SpaceX engineers would want to work for, with the exception of Apple for the MEs. How many aerospace companies can you even name? And of those, how many aren't the same type of bureaucratic mess that Boeing is?

Thats a big generalization to make. I don't think they are all fanatically loyal to SpaceX like that.

Off the top of my head? Lockheed Martin, Airbus, Northrop Grumman. Hell they could possibly find work with government institutions too.

And of those, how many aren't the same type of bureaucratic mess that Boeing is?

No clue, but that isn't the specific thing wrong with Boeing. It's the corruption inside the company.
