> In one recent ranking of companies with the highest employee turnover rates, the Mountain View, California, company is among the leaders. The median employee tenure at Google is just more than one year, according to the payroll consultancy PayScale. Let me ask: does these numbers reflect only employees quitting, or does it also reflect the employee leaving the company on the corp's initiative (getting fired)? If it is the latter, then only talking about employee loyalty seems like a pretty big jump to a flawed conclusion. As an aside: I've heard that many American jobs have at-will employment. Working for someone that can fire me at any time for any reason doesn't really inspire loyalty in my mind.
