Yes but something fishy about methodology. Wells Fargo & Comcast on the list for high retention?

Maybe old school companies attract old school employees who exhibit old school retention perhaps?

Whereas the hottest companies attract employees who are more career and development focused who are more likely to switch every few years?

Just guesses though.

Yeah I think high retention is pretty nuanced. I anecdotally know/worked with many blue collar workers who continue to complain about their jobs, have opportunities to swap, and don’t take them.

Anyone with their self-respect left Wells Fargo years ago. Same for Comcast?

Looking at this list I had the same thought a couple of times: maybe "long time employees don't want to leave" is not necessarily the sign of a wholesome company where everyone is happy and content.
