It's surprising companies don't seem interested in understanding their employees well enough to know that the cost of re-hiring and re-training vs trying to find a better fit in the org is not a good idea.

Some industries coach the employee into a different role, or help them exit more openly.

I've even seen articles about how Amazon chews through so many people that they're having trouble finding "virgin" hires. Everyone in their pool is already fed up with them or were PIP'd.

Interesting.

Explains the cyclical visits from Amazon recruiters on LinkedIn.

Those were some of the roles, but they were having roubles with others too.
