The Wetware Crisis: The Dead Sea Effect

There's a complementary effect where the employers that are hiring tend to be poorer places to work, and the managers hiring within an organization tend to be the worst managers. Why? Because they're the ones driving off the best employees.

Good employers/managers tend to have little turnover and thus need relatively fewer hires. And when they do, they often hire via word-of-mouth rather than the front door.

This is yet another reason to grow your career network.

The only rats to leave a sinking ship are those who can swim.
