The way (most) management thinks is everything is fine because attrition is low. Nevermind that your probably still losing your best people, your culture sucks, your people aren't actually productive, and the second the company hits a rough patch and their grants are underwater- everyone will leave.

The article reports that one worker has 10 meetings a day with more than 30 people in them. Even if every single person, including the good ones, stayed, that's a company that's drowning in process and politics. In my experience it's not the 10x'ers that determine success, it's how many 0.1x'ers are hanging around, sucking productivity of everyone else.
