So you have to remember that most firms have a big pool of people who leave in less than a year because they figure out that they can't do the role or don't like the company or just don't fit well or whatever - then the people who fit tend to stay a few years at least. That high turnover for people who don't fit make the attrition rate seem alarming more than it really is.

So you're saying the difference is that my friends are mostly good at their jobs and your friends are mostly useless? That makes sense 😉
