Is it bad to discourage status-seeking behavior, such that the people are just that way... look elsewhere?


I don't believe in good or bad wrt stuff like this. You're welcome to try to discourage it, but success would depend crucially on how many people really are not "that way." I don't think I'd take that bet, personally, but it's possible I've lived in a strange sub-world and have met unusual people.


Can you, as a business, afford it?


Probably? Is it really the ladder climbers or the everyday folks doing the grunt work?
