High attrition rate?
Seems like attrition has skyrocketed this year, although not surprising after the messy layoffs, poor leadership, and toxic culture. I'm sure it varies by department/region, but anyone know what the current attrition rate is? Does management think... — read more

A lot of GP first lines were on vacation last week
I’m assuming they were told to take the week off to prepare for ranking feedback. They need to be well rested to “own” the outcome. These people have no souls.
