No turn overs in 6 years is really impressive. Not currently looking, but would love to know the company you're working for and possibly/hopefully grab a coffee when I'm in the area. Please shoot me an email (under my profile).

My general understanding of 'turnover' includes firings, but not layoffs.

And that seems appropriate to me.

Maybe 'attrition' or some other term would more accurately describe how stable a unit/org is outside of firings.

Or you could just say 'Nobody has quit me/the org, but I helped two folks transfer.'

That may be a better way to phrase it, yes. Nobody has quit me or my org voluntarily. Thank you.
