Same with their presentations at conferences. They hire really good people, pay them a ton (300k+), and fire them when they stop performing.
It's a good way to get great people, if you can afford it.
- flukus 10y agoThat gets into a murky definition of "performing" though. Performance is often limited by other people, many of which may be long gone. It can also create a culture of people unwilling to admit mistakes. It doesn't take long for these behaviours to produce massive amounts of technical debt. The policy doesn't seem to be working for their UI team either.
