The Reality of Employee Tenure at Leading Companies

The average tenure of employees at major tech companies is surprisingly low, with Google reporting just 1.2 years despite its positive work environment and benefits. This statistic challenges the assumption that established firms ensure longer retention through high investment in employee welfare. The conversation highlights the possible skewed nature of average tenure calculations based on recent hiring surges, leading to a misunderstanding of stability within such organizations. Employees might join with the intent of a long-term career, but many leave before reaching their full potential within the company.
