I was surprised by how quickly the author seemed to confuse measurement and goal
> First, however, it's worth mentioning that having a goal for attrition isn't inherently bad. In some ways, it's simply acknowledging reality and placing a measurement on what is already going to happen in a healthy environment.
- chipotle_coyote 5y agoThat pairing stuck out to me as well. I think the article is generally on point, but I would have rewritten the first sentence to say "it's worth mentioning that having a metric for attrition isn't inherently bad." But having a goal for attrition is exactly the problem the article's describing.
