I've worked for 5+ years at each of 3 different world-class companies in 3 different industries. At every company at least half the employees should have been fired because they simply stunk (did not produce, were not smart, did not care, etc.) So, if Ferris does churn through some employees then I am all for it. It is close to impossible to hire perfectly no matter how good a judge one is.
I will also add that I have worked with some of the most talented engineering talent in this country and some of the best executives. While some of the greatest engineers were likeable, NONE of the executives were without serious personality/stylistic flaws. Most were disliked by more people than liked them. Just the way it is. You don't make a ton of friends by driving an organization hard and pushing people to produce to their potential.
I was a program manager type for half of my career. Generally my teams hated working for me but they loved what we accomplished and the fact that we produced products that were the best in the world. But most of all they loved the rewards (money, promos) that came from above (the execs)and the doors the successes opened. Those ABOVE me (the execs), loved me. Just the way it was/is.
