What a horrible idea.

Truly great engineering requires long-term commitment. Great engineering organizations often have people leave by retiring, not being fired.

Tenure at Netflix tends to be longer than at other tech companies.

The numbers on that graph for the companies I'm familiar with are wildly, wildly incorrect.

I have no idea where those numbers come from, but I don't for a second buy the idea that average tenure at Netflix is larger than others on the peninsula.

I am also skeptical of that data. Some of the companies mentioned couldn’t function with that rate of churn.
