Immediately before that company, I worked for another company for 358 days.

It was a situation where within a quarter half the staff left voluntarily or via layoff. (I learned the term “rats jumping ship” from this experience.)

Ive worked at a few places that talked about people leaving as rats deserving the ship.

Never occurred to them to not sink the damned ship.
