"they have choice."

My take on reading numerous articles on the topic is the design of processes and management style is oriented around removing all possible choices from the employees as a stereotypical primate dominance ritual. Agree, disagree?

A management style designed to make people unhappy so they leave.

I have worked at places with call centers where this was a stated goal... pay after 4 years is excellent, of course working conditions procedures and policies are specifically designed so no one lasts longer than 6 months. There is a HN blindness to this because it takes a programmer a couple months to get up to speed so managing Ruby programmers this way would be pretty idiotic, but for low skill jobs where actual training is about a day, getting rid of them before they get too expensive is a "valid" although inhumane management technique.

My gut level guess is something like they don't pay benefits of any sort for the first 90 days, so management goals and bonuses are oriented around making people so uncomfortable that almost all of them are gone by 89 days.
