[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the Real World firing Workers saves a ton of money.
 
My old firm we had 90 day probation and religiously let go anyone who was not a good performer. We literally have their screen go blank and get a email to return lap top you been offboarded for not clearing probation

Then with four year cliff vesting of sign on RSUs with first one vesting at year one good chance you may be let go before year end.

Only 10-20 percent of employees are rock stars at best. The other 80-90 percent you churn and burn. It is called Hire to Fire Model. We hire to fire my old firm 80 percent of employees.

When I left old firm I had 140K in unvested RSUs, firing me would save them 140K on day one. I quit. But I could see in my account they disappeared.

It was backwards severance in a way. Getting let go cost workers six figures in unvested RSUs. Uncle Sam instead pays workers six figures to let them go.

He missed the memo how DC works.

Hey J1/J2 guy. [/quote]

Only J1 now. But shows how lazy most remote workers are. I had two full time jobs back then. Yet in a place with 40-50 percent turnover at one point as they were tough as nails on hitting targets and KPIs I was never fired and counter offered when left.

I get shit done. Most just do shitty work

Gotta go walk the dog, wash the car now. It’s Friday
