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.

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
