I would imagine your zero employee turn-over is more about employee selection. Your company won't get the "I'm going to change the world" hustlers, it will get lifestyle employees. The latter can be good of course, but you won't get access to the really relentless innovators who could totally transform your startup/ create value you didn't think was there.
- meheleventyone 7y agoWhat's the supporting evidence to suggest that's the case?
- not_a_moth 7y agoWell to start, for most of the relentless innovators and world changers, their life is what they work on. Would you disagree with that?
- meheleventyone 7y agoI definitely think that most people who describe themselves that way probably subscribe to the idea that unhealthy working hours are the only way to be innovative. But this isn't so much evidence that your claim about the OPs employees is true as an attempted definition of "relentless innovators and world changers". We could equally baselessly argue relentless innovators who are trying to find the next big thing would prefer a sane working environment so that they can have enough of a life to actually pursue their passion.
