    This is a stronger indictment of the national work landscape than a boon for Amazon, who has a over 100% turnover rate…

      Amazon pays pretty decently but it’s just god awful work. I worked in a warehouse briefly and made more than I had anywhere else entry level, but sorting boxes for 9 hours straight on night shifts isn’t worth it

      Again, I agree.

      I’m not an executive, if I could raise the national average for all of us believe me I would.

        It’s a turnover rate over time. If everyone quit and had to be replaced in a day you’d be at 100%. Anything after that is over 100% for the year.

        I’ve seen rates of 150% bandied around for Amazon. That means replacing 12.5% of your total headcount on average monthly.

          I’m not great with math so please let me know if I’m understanding this right:

          1. Company has 100 employees
          2. All 100 employees quit
          3. Company gets 100 new employees as replacement

          = 100% turnover rate

          Then…

          1. Company has the 100 new employees
          2. 50 of the new employees quit
          3. Company gets 50 new employees as replacement

          = 150% turnover rate

          and so on?

        Turnover rates are usually described annually. If a company has to replace it’s whole staff twice in a year, that’s a 200% annual turnover rate.
