Some companies seem to thrive on regular culls in the name of operational efficiencies. All that happens is talent leaves the organisation and then those left behind struggle because expertise has gone.

They become quiet quitters. Barely putting any effort in and doing the bare minimum.

They tidy CV and look for next opportunity.
