If it's BigCo, this is usually managed by terminating the employees and replacing them.

  On the contrary, big companies survive because of their stable workers. There is typically a core of people moving around and up in the company, while most people just work their jobs. Smaller companies and consulting firms are the ones who follow the "up or out" mentality.

    This does not contradict my view. At big companies, there is a stable layer of management who have expressed interest in progression and are waiting for their next promotion / assignment. It may never come, but they're playing the game, management is dangling the carrot, and it's a stable equilibrium. If someone says they don't want to progress, they are saying that the carrot won't work for them, and when someone in management leaves they won't be able to help, so sooner or later they will be replaced with someone who does (at least say that) they want to progress.
