The cost of fast hire is also increased attrition, you noted this in the original text.
Attrition breeds attrition and strains the remaining team as relationships established breakdown and have to be reformed.
Each person onboarded, and then discarded as unfit, bears a relationship cost (besides all of its other obvious and hidden costs). This is strain on the remaining people.
You see this in conscript military organizations where turnover is high, in medical programs where interns have relatively short tenures.
The veterans barricade themselves to avoid the emotional strain of disconnected relationships. These barricades become ingrained in process, and tradition, until people silo themselves into their own domains to get stability.
In other words: people bury themselves in their work rather than go through the pain of getting to know the latest batch of juniors and then facing the pain of seeing them disappear in a process they have no control over.
Thanks for this thoughtful comment. I agree with your messages.
On your last point, how the "hire fast fire fast" approach gets people to isolate behind their tasks? I might have misinterpreted what you wrote...
Thank you, I’ll elaborate.

Thanks for this interesting perspective. I learn so much from these interactions in the comment section!!
