Hire-to-fire is neither a conspiracy nor a conscious tactic. It's the natural consequence of what we managers are put into.
If HR wants you to URA someone out, who would you rather lose? The experienced SDE who is productive and is responsible for projects you don't want delays in; or the new hire who's still trying to learn company tools.
That's why hire-to-fire is a thing.
