It was not the best time to be in corporate staffing.
Employees can find themselves in trouble for the same thing.
Good staffing means good sales and marketing. Well, it sounds like an oversimplification, but retaining the best possible employees means hiring the best possible employees. If a person comes to you with a poor retention record, do not act surprised when they leave six months later. If you hire underqualified people and do not train them, you will frustrate and lose new hires. All too often, the early mistakes a start-up makes in staffing and HR planning are the errors that haunt them when they are ready to make the first leap.
