According to the report, which was comprised of internal research papers, slide decks, and spreadsheets, only one out of three new hires in 2021 stayed with the company for longer than 90 days, and former workers were twice as likely to leave by choice over being fired. The documents also show that rates of attrition were high throughout all tiers of the company — from entry-level workers through to executives and vice presidents. What’s more, the lowest turnover rate for one of the company’s 10 tiers was almost 70%, which is still far over the national average of 47.2%. However, according to a recent investigation from the Wall Street Journal and National Employment Law Project, the churn rate among lower-level staffers like factory workers is much higher than with other levels of the company. In fact, their findings revealed that the turnover rate among warehouse workers was around 100%, double the industry average. Aside from not providing a strong development framework to begin with, findings from a 2021 New York Times investigation revealed that these roadblocks could also be there by design.
