Reflecting on this, I realized when I was CTO at a company that needed a culture reset when I arrived (not of happiness, but of accountability for software that actually worked), I had 20% non-regrettable attrition on the eng. team, so not too far off 1/3 really. 3 months later quality was better and the rest of the team were happier too, because putting out bug fires in production every day is very stressful.
