The first sign of death is to stop growing. That hold true for us and corporations that don't pay a decent dividend. Even a hint that the next quarter will be down sends the stocks to the basement.

I know why it happens. It doesn't mean I agree with it. It could be a small unlisted company too where the owner pockets as much as all of the rest of the employees combined. Personally I am more in line with distributing much of the company profit onto the people responsible for that success but I understand that is not the common situation.

I think they work under both as long as things are meeting expectations. Once things get tough, the employee experience gives way to 'needs of the business'.
I'm OK with that generally speaking if the business is at least fair to employees, and employees fair to the business. Turns out that businesses that deliver great employee experiences that back in performance and productivity, too bad more employers never figure this out.
I think churn is a different thing, a necessary thing. Few people perform at high levels for a long time in the same position, for big businesses 'churn' can be through positive attrition (people moving to new roles) as they have the numbers and levels to support this. With smaller companies, churn is typically negative attrition (meaning they leave and are replaced), a lesser employees experience and heavy expense for companies.
I know civil engineering companies that take pride in how poorly they pay the horde at the bottom. They don't care that turnover is 50%+ a year, it is a job well suited to new grads who need experience. They could let salary climb to 70K and they would probably reduce turnover by an order of magnitude but they don't. The guys at the top make more money if they pay 50 and provide no opportunity for advancement or salary increase (well 1/100 may move up but the structure is pretty flat).
Florida is opening nursing homes up to family visits again (I think this is a terrible idea but at least they seem to have thought it through and considered both sides of the issue). The governor did publicly question whether previous actions (or inactions) by his office may have caused some of this mess.

"I think it's difficult to think that some of our actions may have precipitated," the governor said, his final word barely audible as he invited another speaker to take over.

A friend posted a pic tonight of a birthday party at a restaurant. Probably 20 people sitting shoulder to shoulder drinking and eating. Fack. People are dumb. Sometimes you wish this was a little more deadly for young people so they would take it seriously.

People with sociopathic traits less likely to follow coronavirus guidelines, study finds
A new study has found that people with sociopathic traits are less likely to follow public health measures designed to help limit the spread of COVID-19, including wearing a face mask and adhering to physical distancing.
www.ctvnews.ca
Researchers looked at the relationship between anti-social personality traits and compliance with COVID-19 measures using a sample of 1,578 Brazilian adults between the ages of 18 and 73.
"Our findings indicated that anti-social traits, especially lower levels of empathy and higher levels of callousness, deceitfulness, and risk-taking, are directly associated with lower compliance with containment measures," the study read.
that’s from Monday!

Hey that one chick looks topless, how did the Whig not catch that ? must be a foreign exchange student.
Yes, that's what the paper said.
I repeat. I would expect to see at least one person wearing a mask, or a mask nearby on the ground or such. I haven't made one out, have you?
It seems strange that people from a young, intelligent, left-leaning cohort, would be congregating without masks. The group here, I would expect that half would refuse outright, and a quarter would say they do, but not wear them. Motorcyclists aren't really known for their sociability, brains, or law-abiding behaviour.
However put them in a group and they follow the herd . Paper says the pic was recent. I didnt see any evidence to the contrary. I expect some wore masks to the beach but took them off when they saw the skin in the crowd.
What the hell? Great news if true, effective and driven by science not politics.

Trump is desperate to be able to announce a vaccine before the election...then everything will be juuuuuussst fine, of course.
Funny part is 75% of his followers won’t even consider taking it, even if it is properly tested and vetted, which something rushed out in the next 8 weeks most certainly will not be.
