It'd be interesting to study. My intuition is that over the long term it'd cut in the opposite direction--smart people will move on while bottom tier will linger as long as possible.

Smart is the wrong word - more like savvy googlers usually have an internal network and know what teams are hot. They move on quickly.

Bottom tier can't linger long if they have 90 days to find a new job or get fired.

In my experience the best leave at the first redeployment. Each subsequent buyout the smarter ones leave, it's rarely the crap people that take a buyout or leave altogether.
