Attrition in Software Companies........


Apparently, there are 1.6 million students graduating each year from engineering colleges in India alone. All of them are hungry, some of them are talented. Plus, they are cheap, ready to drink the kool-aid and work hard to prove themselves.

They are excellent resources to replace the aging or slowing or experienced engineers who tend to become costly and legacy over time. Sure, there will be some valuable experienced engineers whose abrupt exit will hurt the team and organization. The management will try to retain them through negotiations. However, the job of management is also to ensure there are no such bottleneck superstars in the first place.

Most software companies have learnt to live with attrition. They have evolved into railway platforms. People come and go all the time.
