Managing people out isn't a new concept that Amazon is pioneering here.
It's a practice as old as corporations for management to create environments that drive some expected percentage of employees (or a specific employee) to quit voluntarily to avoid severance cost or legal hassle of firings/layoffs.
This is a huge part of the skill of people management.

- anonporridge 3y agoIt's "clean" in the sense that it mitigates conflict by making the other party think they want the end of the relationship more than the instigator, AND it makes them less likely to try to reconnect in the future. Not saying it's noble or strong, but it does avoid a lot of messiness.
