Headcount turnover is around 20-30% annual in France (computed from source).
Staffing rate is between 70-80%.

Oh btw, that’s a market average ;-)

Neither are uncommon

If you’re bad at your job and get a couple negative reviews in a row? Probably PIP then fired.

Laid off? Really depends on your service line and if there’s just a temporary slowdown or the pipeline is drying up for the foreseeable future and they need to cut costs.

Headcount turnover or attrition is absolutely reasonable to say in the 20%+ range but most of that is voluntarily.

Generally don't need to fire because enough people quit willingly and those that don't do well are usually unhappy and will leave anyways.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.
