It most definitely is, and it is such an idiotic mindset when actual number crunching happens.

Employee A: Been here for a year (due to getting a performance review in the comic), already trained, already knows much about the system and environment, apparently perfect Gets fired for using a sick day

Employee B: newly hired (since we fired the last guy), needs to be trained (as each work environment can be totally different even in the same field), knows next to nothing about the work flow or systems or environment, might be perfect but we won’t know for sure until next year or until they mess something up really bad Loss of money on training someone for a role that used to be filled by a person who was already engrained into the work

= a really fucking dumb way of looking at how you handle management

The new person could also use EVEN MORE sick days or whatever. Just…? Brain… are you there…?
