I assume they meant “turnover”. Amazon is notorious for burning through employees quickly.

And if employees quit voluntarily, the company doesn’t need to pay severance, may reclaim hiring bonus or RSU’s, and it helps them politically/reputationally in aggregate (by being able to claim low lay-off numbers). Of course then you might wind up with those other than your worst performers leaving, so it’s not great in the long term.

Correct, I meant turnover. My mistake.
