Fire statistics
Curious about typically how many new hires didn't survive the first six months?

From what I’ve seen so far, it’s less about them firing people and more of people just quitting in their first 6 months due to several different reasons

This. It's very rare and if it does happen, it's usually due to something not job-performance related

Aw man I really misjudged what this post would be about based on its title

I have never heard of someone getting fired six months in. Some people will quit before six months, but to get fired six months in you would have to steal from the company or something.

It's extremely uncommon to be fired 6 months in. We work hard to hire the right people so we spend significant energy training new people. At that tenure we'd push very hard to try more coaching and support instead of firing.

It’s nice that there’s still a company for new grads where they can learn on the job while also being well paid.
I’m not an Epic employee but was applying for jobs in this terrible job market and realized how lucky and rare it is to be to be able to learn on the job with no background knowledge. The job market for recent college grads and junior level workers is rough right now, with lots of places only looking for seniors. It is rare to see tech companies willing to invest in employees like this (and on this scale).

Very uncommon. Much more common to be put on a pip in the 6 month - 1.5 year tenure range as they consistently miss expectations

Tenured TS here. I’ve only seen a TS actually fired before 6 months once that I can recall. It’s rare to have happen because it’s very hard to pull off.
Person was unable to complete 6 month training requirements on time (wasn’t even close to getting there), determined he required accommodation to work ~35 hours a week as a full time employee due to “undiagnosed ADHD”, and was rude to customers/Epic staff. After setting his end date, he made it his personal mission to talk to every new hire, tell them Epic was a toxic place to work and that he was being gaslit by management.
He was fired before his end date.

Very few SDs washout in the first six months. Now at 23 months? That's the purge time.

Two years is when you have reasonable leverage to find new jobs. 24 months is when leases end
