1,504 workers, including 504 HR managers questioned.

Nearly two in five (37 percent) managers, directors, and executives believe their organization enacted layoffs in the last year because fewer employees than they expected quit during their RTO. And their beliefs are well-founded: One in four (25 percent) VP and C-suite executives and one in five (18 percent) HR pros admit they hoped for some voluntary turnover during an RTO.

    Why ends up happening is you skim the top employees and are left with the bottom of the barrel that performs even worse because they are in a state of fear and discomfort.

    Sounds like the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result (keeping the best, getting rid of the rest)

        It’s not, but it’s a common phrase and brings up a fair point even if the wrong way.

          I know, it’s actually much older than that but it still drives me crazy when people say that for some reason.

      “Incompetence” would also fit the bill.
