At one of my previous jobs, managers would leak information about potentially not renewing contracts as 'person X has decided to quit'. It used to be quite awkward to meet person X at a bar and ask them why they were changing their job when this was the first time they heard about it. Turns out that toxification of workplace is better at getting rid of people than going about it legally.
