Is this a measure, or a target?

If it's a measure, _shrug_, I see it as fairly inevitable in a big enterprise. Some people will leave for good, bad, and miscellaneous reasons. 6% turnover at a big enterprise seems pretty low IMHO.

If it's a target - wtf? Actively forcing out satisfactory staff to hit an arbitrary number is a bizarre way to operate.

I know the media loves to suggest Amazon has horrible work practices, but seeing as one explanation of this number is sensible enough and the other is batshit crazy, I choose to assume they're applying it in the sensible way.
