Oh, please. Softer version of this practice is well-known in tech industry since 2000s: when company demands perf curve from the manager, managers hire and keep low-performers on the team to satisfy the curve demand. Everyone who worked at Microsoft, Amazon or Walmart has seen this happening. Hire-to-fire is just logical extension of this practice. It doesn’t really matter if it’s internal transfer or new hire.
