    Firing by algo takes many forms.pic.twitter.com/kT4oeN8iLL

    Some Amazon managers say they 'hire to fire' people just to meet the internal turnover goal every year. 
The practice is internally called "hire to fire," in which managers hire people they intend to fire within a year just to meet their turnover goal.

        “Unregretted attrition.” WTF. https://www.businessinsider.com/top-stories-amazon-hire-to-fire-james-charles-lawsuit-wells-fargo-exodus-2021-5 …pic.twitter.com/pJJ8ozzeo4

        in which managers hire people, internally or externally, they intend to fire within a year, just to help meet their annual turnover target, called unregretted attrition (URA). A manager's URA target is the percentage of employees the company wouldn't regret seeing leave, one way or the other.

        I don't know what a turnover goal is. So, they try to get some % of the workforce to leave every year... To keep wages down? It would be really difficult for an org to keep knowledge if it churns like that...

        Yeah, the long tenured staff is valuable, but managers are expected to fire a set % of underperforming employees, so they just juke the performance reviews to sacrifice the newest people. Biproduct of the perverse incentives of running a business like it’s a computer simulation

        Wait, why is there a turnover goal? Isn't turnover something you always want to minimize?

        At Amazon managers are expected to fire a certain % of “underperformers”. As co-workers are compared, som will always score the lowest. You hire people to fire them, in order to keep the other staff you actually like.
