Well, I have all my staff on payment level "very happy" even when I send them to training. Did not help a bit, and "ecstatic" no more...I have the same issue while levelling up the staff of my 7 studios (movie/photo). A good work around was that after I have send the staff member to training (which led to a small higher, automatic set salary and a happiness description of "Indifferent" at "Payment Adjust" although the "Happiness" itself is still e.g. at 100 and not influenced yet) I have made a manual "Payment Adjust" to "Very Happy", not "Ecstatic" which seems to be an issue for small follow up problems.
With this setting the lost of Happiness is less, but mostly still shown with a reduced Happiness after they have returned, but after I have made a "Payment Adjust" to "Ecstatic" they have been at 100 again in a few days.
The "follow up problem" is a bit buggy because I have had some cases where the salary is maxxed out by the game although I have set a less high income and sometimes it was also not possible to reduce the rate to a lower setting manually (which was possible a few days later, have seen no connection to shown personal data or my style of play). As mentioned, by not using "Ecstatic" I did not have had the issue again.
Still, depending on the trait of the staff (e.g. Cantankerous) some members I was not able to keep, so it is only a way to save most, not all of them.
I have the suspicion that changing to that "plus 5 happiness per day" policy as well as payment adjustment takes a week in advance to take effect. I will try that out. Loses me a week of progress at least, though...
Edit: I tried everything loading saves from over two weeks (in-game) back. No success. I think that training/happiness thing is seriously broken
