> Managers should possibly be penalized if they fire (or lose) too many people (it shows that either ... or that their people hate them and leave)
There is a nuance here, which is that Amazon is only targeting unregretted attrition rates. Which indicates the number of people leaving Amazon, who have been previously marked as poor performers. The system also doesn't allow simple gaming, such as marking someone as a poor performer after they tell you they are leaving. Having a high regretted attrition rate is indeed something managers will be penalized for.
Not defending the system in any way. Just wanted to clarify the above
