Valuable people are an extremely delicate mental matter - destroying such people is elementary. It is impossible to return the destroyed back and it is not even a matter of physically returning to the company - a mentally killed higher creative intellect, in principle, is not returned to any company if it was treated badly in one of them. This is even worse than "burnout".
Modern companies destroy both the "fertile soil" for such people and themselves. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are fewer and fewer valuable personnel, and greedy managers are chasing them more and more fiercely, fighting with each other, not understanding the main thing, because they are stupid...
One has only to go through the human backbone with vandalism methods of the next upstart manager and that's it - the company will have to deal with the consequences (at best) for a decade or more.
And naturally, all large TNCs, as soon as they find a rich market niche, immediately acquire crowds of "workers", in fact parasites, who do little or even pretend to do something. Nepotism and corruption begin to flourish. The roots gradually rot and such a company dies, despite its seemingly overwhelming market share.
It is impossible to fire valuable employees in such numbers - this means they are of little value. But then why were they in the company in such numbers?
Everyone knows that in teams, at most 15-20% of workers really pull the strap and create. The rest are extra baggage...
