What are the facts?
Who cares?
Or, perhaps more precisely, whose business is it anyway?
I agree. There could be any number of reasons someone leaves in a few weeks. Unfortunately, the traditional interview process is not all that good in making a judgement on the match. In most of them, judging the employee candidate seems to take precendent over judging the organization. In the best interviews I've been to, I get to meet one or two levels up from my potential manager, and most or all my peers. I get a chance to judge them as well as they get a chance to judge me to see if we can make a team. Such an interview takes all day. Unfortunately most companies are so swamped with candidates bearing inflated resumes that they have to interview dozens of potential candidates and good interviewing just does not take place. And just because one individual doesn't like the place doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it. And employers make mistakes about employees, too, at times. It is an imperfect process and its failure should not be used to judge either side.
These mail lists are hardly the appropriate place to discuss the personnel matters of any organization.
