But it's always the best ones who leave first.
Are they really that stupid, or do they only have best ones? ;-)
The best ones are generally paid the most.
You got a cycle or two of firing the best hiring cheaper promoting from inside until you lose all of the useful people in the company than everybody moves on in the cycle begins anew
Have you ever worked in a place where 20% - 30% of all workers have left (voluntarily or not)?
Forget your cycles then. It feels like the company is unable to do anything useful anymore, and then even the ones who don't give a damn about anything, those who only let time go by, are starting to look for a way out of there.
Yes, three times now, I've begun to envy the ones getting severance and moving on.
The smart companies will use a pretty decent carrot on a stick to retain just enough people to retrain the new people.
And generally the ones you don't want going to a competitor...
