    Onboarding a new employee is incredibly expensive. I think the stat is that it takes on average 6 months for the company to break even for the hiring costs. That’s what I’ve read through. No idea how true it is

      It’s very true!

      Six months is the most conservative estimate I’ve heard. There’s some specialties where it’s closer to 24 months.

      But the boss’ bonus will have arrived in their account, before then. And with a little luck, the next company wide reorganization will make it someone else’s problem.
