Wouldn't that person's replacement just suffer the same fate?

It's better to correct the bad behavior than to kick it down the river.

Most teams wouldn't bat an eye at a few weeks working somewhere else. The managers will change their tune if they lose engineers over such a stupid policy.

I've seen managers have over 100% turnover in 6 months and still not change their approach.

Doesn't Google recognize that 100% turnover on a team might be a management problem?
