- 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.

- 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]
