How did you find enough new hires to replace the massive attrition? Or did high achievers alternate between working hard and slacking off?

- brianwawok 11y agoWhat is the normal tech company attrition? I would think 20-30% seems normalish, but I never had full HR docs of a fortune 500 company or anything to look at. Generally a bunch of people quit after 1 or 2 years - if not you stayed for 10-20. If most of the fired people were the going to quit anyways people, no big change. (But i assume at least some of the low performers are the 20 year vets as they are burned out)
- sjbase 11y agoThe short answer is that we didn't find enough; we were perpetually understaffed. However: most of that was just because of industry-wide talent shortage in information security. Generally, you fill in the void with people who recently left competitors (who have the same attrition rates).
