Bad hire exited after 1 year = up to 2.5x base pay
Bad hire
Seeks opportunities and recognition
Engaged about growth and opportunities
Realizes it’s just “talk”
Disengages
Answers the recruiter’s call
Gives up and leaves
Asks for promotion or expects raise
Bad hiring decisions and high performers leaving can cost millions

Too busy to deal with it
