  - I laughed at the MSNBC report of this - TWuG Feb 20, 19:54 14
    - maybe they just missed being specific? their executive turnover rate in the last year or so has been notably high. nm but: -- (link) - b. Feb 20, 20:13 13
      - I'll see if I can find tenure times for those who've left since July, but this analysis says "nope, pretty average" -- (link) - TWuG Feb 20, 20:33 12
        
        Found some tenure times for those who've left since the article I liked was updated last. - TWuG Feb 20, 21:04 6
        
        most talking about turnover rate in this case aren't talking about tenure, it's departures. I don't even know where tenure would be in the discussion - b. Feb 20, 21:11 5
        
        I'm not sure how you separate # of departures from tenure - TWuG Feb 20, 21:17 4
        
        I'm baffled that there's even a question of why it's a thing - it's concerning that so many in leadership roles would be leaving within a short period - b. Feb 20, 21:38 3
        
        You keep saying "high turnover" I keep pointing to "average turnover" - TWuG Feb 20, 21:50 2
        
        "average turnover" isn't context either, especially not the data you provided. that one guy says it's in line with the financial industry, - mafic Feb 20, 22:15 1
        
        also near as I can tell most of the industry data seems to work on median to discount the outsize influence of guys with very long tenure. - mafic Feb 20, 22:55
        
        one guy who's long on their stock, using average years with the company vs. sheer number of people who've left in a short amount of time? c'mon, man. -- nm - b. Feb 20, 20:45 4
        
        That's how an "average turnover rate" is figured. You're confusing being aware of turnover with that turnover being somehow exceptional. - TWuG Feb 20, 21:12 2
        
        I (and the linked article) have been talking solely the departure rate of executives, which has nothing to do with tenure. employee turnover rate. -- nm - b. Feb 20, 21:25 1
        
        Which is being reported as excessive with absolutely zero context. The tenure and turnover rate is the context. - TWuG Feb 20, 21:45
        
        seriously, with decades of paying attention to the corporate world, the examples I can think of that have had that kind of leadership turnover are for -- (edited) - b. Feb 20, 20:53
