I didn’t see this being suggested in the parent post.
- Klinky 3y agoThe entire second paragraph is about finding optimum turnover to keep the team fresh and dynamic. I think it's impossible to control organic voluntary turnover, as you don't control people's lives/desires. The alternative would be artificial turnover, moving people in and out of teams as needed to meet this goal. I think people joining and leaving is disruptive regardless of it being organic or artificial.
- softwaredoug 3y agoI actually think there’s optimum voluntary and non artificial turnover where people naturally move to other opportunities. And conversely a calcification where people get stuck in a comfort zone. I don’t think people should be forced to leave. Instead I paradoxically think people should be hired more interested in growth and this more likely to leave / move around the company / try different roles.
- Klinky 3y agoWho defines calcification and comfort zone? Be careful you don't confuse a mature stack with subject matter experts who can execute effectively as "outdated calcification". I would be wary of someone who wants to hop around a lot. Are they adding tangible value to every team or disrupting things before bailing to the next team?
