Churn is great for recruiters and HR! I once worked at a startup that implemented a policy of trying to always get rid of a certain % of workers every year to make sure they only employed "the very best". PS: Every confident company thinks they only employ the very best, and who they employ or hire is usually different.
The HR people really pushed this, I think because they believed in it. But it also coincidentally gave them a much bigger role than they would have had at a small company with a stable workforce.

That way, they can provide the churn that is required, without actually losing any of the people they might want to keep. I didn’t actually see that on either of the teams I worked on, but I certainly heard plenty about it.
