It's the natural result of "fire the bottom 10% every year".
If that's the rule in your organization, and you have a core group of people that actually know the systems and get the work done, you better make sure you have 10% padding every year, lest you layoff someone important and their friends all quit in disgust. And since competence and institutional knowledge is built over time, that implies a revolving door of new folks coming in and most of it not making it.
If both sides know it, working as a "churney" can be pretty chill. Like being put on the roof from the getgo.
Maybe 1/10 of the new hires replace 1/90 of the existing old timers. You need some creative destruction.
Workers as cattle. This is utterly disgusting and the way it’s normalized is even more revolting
In management terms a human and a printer are the same. Both resources that need to be managed. I hate it.
Absolutely not--the printer is capex, so it's preferable to the humans who are opex.
We don't send 10% of our printers to the landfill every year just to motivate the other printers.
