> Or, as Vox’s Jason Del Rey writes in another story this week [see below], “Amazon corporate managers have goals for “unregretted attrition” — basically a percentage of their staff that should leave the company each year, either voluntarily or by being forced out.” It’s just like Adam Serwer put it in a different context: the cruelty is the point.
Performance is the point. It is just seemingly cruel if you cannot perform relative to your peers. It may not be the best tool to get that in some cases, but I am pretty sure that nobody is setting "make 6% of the staff miserable" as a goal.
