  • A number of tech companies act like smart people are abundant and thus replaceable.
    • That is their employment strategy.
    • Make their hiring bar high enough that working (and succeeding) in the environment is a credential.
    • Then just burn through people as quickly as possible, extracting as much as you can.[cy]
      • Make examples of the employee if there's even a single transgression.
      • Make sure they're always in fear.
    • A very Saruman-style employment philosophy.
    • I… don't love this approach.[cz]
