@tower "People don't quit jobs, they quit bosses." Make this a meme among your co-workers, while you look for another company to work for. Hopefully the higher ups will hear this saying voiced every time another crewmember departs.
This is assuming "stay and resist/fight the problem" is not a viable option. Particularly if the superior you already discussed the situation with does nothing to improve the situation, which usually doesn't happen until it affects him directly somehow, like production falling behind and other effects of suddenly increased turnover.
@tower Here are two: Agency and Accomplishments.
Take control and actively steer the areas of life you can, which includes breaking through learned and conditioned blocking-beliefs that fool yourself into thinking certain controllable things are not.
Set goals and accomplish them, over and over, in small and large parts of your life. Some are standalones, others are ladders toward ever greater things you can't necessarily reach in one step.
