Apple is another outlier. Is Facebook or Amazon going to be the next example?
My previous employer had a pretty explicit "up or out" policy, until the CTO - who was the main driver behind it - left. Luckily, this was before I reached my current, happy level. I'm not sure what the L-equivalent is, but I'm a senior software engineer.

I am willing to accept that many employers might still be following the policy you mention. Would you be willing to accept that many employers don't?
