High Turnover Rate	comment	There's a job opening, and the position looks very desirable, at least on paper. But it's hard. So hard that no one lasts long. Many quit before the day is over. Many quit without waiting to take the money. Many quit while screaming, without looking where they're fleeing, and then spent the rest of their life muttering "Twenty bucks an hour" over and over and over again. In some cases, they never even got a chance to quit, instead dying in the course of their duties or a suspicious accident. In some cases, the difficulty isn't with the job itself, but with the viciousness and/or stupidity of the boss. This may cause the character to be fired or even killed for failing to satisfy the boss's unreasonable demands. Usually the "no one can hack it" circumstances are shown by a montage of characters of different types attempting the task before leaving. Some of these may be Shout Outs to recognisable characters who would be good at the task at hand... but not quite good enough. This is commonly used for nannies, teachers, or babysitters to unruly children, to show how horrible the children are. Alternatively, it's the secretary to an utterly unreasonable boss. This is a common setup (or sometimes reveal) for a New Job Episode, showing the previous failures at the task, warning the characters of the horror they face. As a rule, if the new employee is not a main character, we'll see how the job is so horrible, and even this "hard to crack" character will eventually fail to the nightmare that is the task. But if the new employee is a major character, they'll be a little bit different. Perhaps they have a warm heart and honest demeanour that will soften the hardest heart. Or perhaps she'll be the first to turn around and tear their Pointy-Haired Boss down as vengeance for all the previous employees. (When this happens to the cast or crew of a show or group, it's Long-Runner Cast Turnover, Revolving Door Casting, Dead End Job, or Revolving Door Band.) Since a lot of these "resignations" end with the death of a character, beware of spoilers.

On the positive side, it's mentioned in the first film that only a few of his partners actually get killed, with most only being seriously injured or simply finding his Jerkass Cowboy Cop attitude difficult to work with and transferred to other responsibilities.

The incredibly idiotic customers typically drive any worker intelligent enough to add insane within a few days. Arcturus lasts a few days before trying to strangle a man with red rope licorice, and only a week before trying to murder a man over a burger. That's still beating the spread by four days.

Though it's mostly remembered for featuring The Incredible Hulk, Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, and Sub-Mariner, this lineup has never lasted long, and the team's lineup changes and shifts pretty much constantly from run to run. Chances are, if you can name a B-to-C-list Marvel hero who was active during the 70s and 80s, they were probably a member of the Defenders at some point. Part of the reason for this is that a conceit of Defenders was Teeth-Clenched Teamwork and a general lack of unity aside from focusing on weird or mystical challenges, which meant characters could regularly quit or join.

They're recruited from death row inmates for a reason: as if the extremely lethal positions they're given aren't bad enough, D-class personnel are killed one month after being demoted to this level. Exceptions are very rare, usually for skill sets (even the Foundation needs lab techs), the poor schmuck's a living victim of an SCP's effects retained for study, is the SCP in question, or required to keep containment. Due to the rate the Foundation goes through D-class how much they depend on them, this was eventually changed so that only the D-class that have been in contact with contaminous/memetic scps are killed, and the rest simply have their memories wiped of the last month and start over. "Sacrifice D-Class to the scp until you understand it" is still standard procedures, though.

The number of the latter is debatable depending on who all you count as being is boss (i.e. all direct superiors or just agency directors?) but there are no fewer than 6 people that have been presidents in 24's 8 seasons. The number rockets to 9 if you include whoever was president in season 1, Logan's vice president taking over when he resigns and take President Taylor's resignation in the series finale into account. It's a wonder this universe's version of the United States can keep it together at all. The series takes place over about 14 years, that's 9 presidents spread out over about three presidential terms worth of time. Holy shit!

High Turnover Rate / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: In the novel Going Postal, Moist von Lipwig takes on the job of Postmaster General after several previous occupants of the post died in odd accidents. Given the ruin he was put in charge of he'd assumed these deaths had occurred when they stopped delivering mail decades earlier, and was distraught to learn that it had been last month - none of the recent appointees had survived long enough to clean the place up. Equally, Kings/Patricians before Vetinari and Archchancellors before Ridcully used to have quite short tenures; one king was killed less than two seconds after his coronation, and became known to history as King Loyala the Aargh. Patricians always seemed to end up going crazy and needing to be replaced or assassinated, while the wizards were firm believers in Klingon Promotion. Vetinari got around this by being irreplaceable, Ridcully by being virtually unkillable. The last patrician before Vetinari, Mad Lord Snapcase, lasted about a decade. Homicidal Lord Winder is also implied to have lasted a good while. The Archchancellors, by comparison, were replaced once per book, implying tenures counted in single-digit months.

This seems to end with Jean Pierre, who suffers a horrible accident but survives and continues to serve them after being poorly sewn back together (they even write a song about it called, appropriately enough "Sewn Back Together Wrong"). Just the training to become a Klokateer has a guaranteed fifty percent death rate: the very first task is to pair off and fight to the death. On the other hand, every recruit that makes it to the branding is insanely loyal. Even Jean-Pierre's insanely loyal: right before getting in the accident, he said he'd rather scoop out his brains with a melon baller than miss the opportunity to serve Dethklok — right after they detailed what happened to his predecessor.

Except one, Carol, who is perfect, she's the best one in the world. She's so good, her former boss, Bob Newhart, comes on the show and begs her to come back to him and Jerry. (Of course he'd need to have her back, he was never running a bed-and-breakfast in Vermont, the whole show was All Just a Dream and he was still a psychologist in Chicago.) In the last season, Murphy has to stand before a Joker Jury made up of all her fired secretaries. After Murphy gives her "Reason You Suck" Speech and they let her go, she meets up with one secretary who had perfect qualifications and no trouble with the job whatsoever. Murphy can not remember firing her.

Due to assorted production and inter-personal issues, main actors tended to leave the show after only a season or two, leading to a constantly changing roster of lead characters (which also had elements of Klingon Promotion, ironically enough, as each departing character tended to have their role in the plot replaced by the supporting character most directly under them). In fact the only character who lasted through all 5 seasons was the secondary antagonist and Starscream, Agent Sandoval.

In the last episode of GlÃ¼hen, Rex discusses forming a fifth incarnation of the team.

High Turnover Rate / int_57a3683f	comment	Often true for those receiving the calls from strangers as well, such as in customer service. It is slightly better in that the customer had to call you rather than the other way around, but they are usually no less angry. Unfortunately, the customer service rep is often powerless to do much more than take the complaint. In addition to angry customers, the rep may have to deal with incompetent users, especially for customer service relating to technical products such as computers or mobile devices. Trying to explain (seemingly) simple instructions to a tech-illiterate customer over and over every single day gets tiresome very quickly. That's not even counting those who wind up being the fifth or sixth representative to get an increasingly irate customer who got shuffled around by other reps who didn't want to deal with them, or who have to explain to businesses that what the sales department promised them was impossible, and that they were lied to, and that no, there is no eleventh-hour magic that can be worked.

If even one thing about the Games displeases the President enough, the blame falls on the Head Gamemaker's shoulders, quickly followed by (usually painful) execution. In fact, the only known Head Gamemakers known not to have suffered a You Have Failed Me-fate are those who pulled a Cincinnatus routine, Crane's predecessor Grizelda (who instead dies after her secrets are exposed by Finnick on live television), and Odysseus Toot, who managed a string of (perceived) successful Games by sheer dumb luck, with any faults falling on the shoulders of others. Understandably, he quit while he was ahead and retired from the position after his fifth Hunger Games. This goes for the position of Gamemaker in general, really. If the blunder is really bad, the President won't just go for the Head Gamemaker but for the entire staff under them as well. Considering how many are killed over the course of the story, it makes one wonder why any of the Capitolites still want the job.

It is officially the Number Two to the King and is essentially the same as "Prime Minister" or Grand Vizier, with the expectation they serve as The Good Chancellor to The Good King. Since good kings are in short supply during the War of the Five Kings, a lot of different people give the post the old college try. Three of them (Jon Arryn, Ned Stark, Tywin Lannister) get killed on the job for political and/or other complicated reasons. One of them, Tyrion Lannister, proved to be more than competent, but was overwhelmed by his own family and the foreground bigotry for being a dwarf and when Cersei Lannister becomes Regent for Life, she fills it with Yes-Men with predictable results. According to Jaime, the turnover of Hands was worse under Mad King Aerys due to his tendency to execute people who displeased him, to the point where he didn't bother learning the names of most of them, and thought of them by their coats of arms. Lordship of Harrenhal is another. The castle has had several owners (ranging from careful to catastrophic) throughout its history, due to the fact that every house or individual that has held it has suffered a disastrous end. It wouldn't seem so bad if it stuck to simply reducing the life expectancy of its highest commanders alone, but it tends to take out their families, too. Because of this, Harrenhal is widely believed to be cursed and lordship of it has become something of a White Elephant. Of the several characters that have held it throughout the series thus far, five of them have perished: Tywin Lannister, Gregor Clegane (sort of...), Amory Lorch, Vargo Hoat, and Janos Slynt. The same universe-set novel Fire & Blood mentions that Maegor the Cruel got through three Grand Maesters in the space of his six-year reign; he beheaded the first one for daring to dispute Maegor seizing the crown from his nephew after his brother King Aenys died, the second for condemning Maegor for taking a third wife when his marriage to his second wife had set off a holy war with the Faith Militant and beheaded the third after his first child was born a deformed monstrosity.

High Turnover Rate / int_b30ae4db	comment	The job of Australian Prime Minister has been compared numerous times to Game of Thrones and it had truly earned its reputation for this, a la Italy and Japan, although in this case it seems to be somewhat cyclic: between 2010 and 2018 (8 years), Australia has had 5 Prime Ministers, and one of them was PM twice. Between 1975 and 2007 (32 years), Australia had another 4 Prime Ministers. Between 1966 and 1975 (9 years), Australia had 5 Prime Ministers, although one of them was a caretaker PM after his predecessor disappeared. Between 1949 and 1966 (17 years), we had just one. It's reached the point where paramedics no longer ask who the Prime Minister is as a way to check the mental state of a patient, because it's not inconceivable that even a completely alert person might not know.

High Turnover Rate / int_b7870bb0	comment	Jumpers from The Sirantha Jax Series. Jumpers are people born with the "J-Gene", which allows them to safely navigate ships during grimspace jumps (people without the J-Gene can't perceive the beacons left behind by The Makers while in grimspace, and thus would likely be lost forever). The problem comes from the fact that grimspace travel is like an addictive drug for Jumpers, causing them to experience orgasmic euphoria when jumping. Not only can this have severe psychological effects, but it can also cause brain lesions to form, which results in Jumpers eventually making a jump and coming out of it brain dead. This is called "navigator burnout syndrome" and means that Jumpers rarely live past 30, being constantly replaced; even individual ships will frequently go through multiple Jumpers during their active service.

High Turnover Rate / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: This is part of the reason the Black Templars are tolerated by the rest of the Imperium despite violating the Codex Astartes's limits on chapter size, having a standing army of at least 5000 Battle Brothers at any time compared to the prescribed 1000. While most Space Marines are considered indispensable works of biomechanical art who are expected to serve the Emperor for at least a couple of centuries before something manages to kill them in battle, the insanely aggressive tactics practiced by the Templars mean that they're constantly losing Marines at least as fast as they can recruit new ones and if they didn't do their best to keep the chapter massively over-strength, it would go extinct overnight. The Imperial Guard is the Imperium's main fighting force, and numbers in the billions. A large part of their fighting doctrine includes overwhelming the enemy with large numbers of line troopers, most of whom aren't very well equipped since only the most basic armor and weapons are standard issue, but they can be experienced veterans who has survived actions like that many times before. The ones that become veterans are invariably the few troopers who survive. However, it should be noted that the other half of Guard doctrine involves their massive numbers of heavy tanks, self-propelled artillery, and various other vehicles. Orks are like the Guard, but...more. They come in huge numbers, riding in hundreds of ramshackle vehicles (relatively few of which can stand up to much punishment), and most troops carrying some goofy guns that are more for making loud noises than to hit something, but the guns they do use for hitting something pack a lot of hurt. They also breed explosively, by asexually and passively shedding spores throughout their lifetime, but especially at death. That means that their style of war not only has a high attrition rate, but relies on it so that conflict can replace casualties, and, if no countermeasures are put in place, bolster their numbers and make them stronger as a conflict grinds on. On worlds where Orks are the sole inhabitants (or if they wiped out everything else), Ork tribes make war on each other until they reach a "critical mass" and a leader unifies the tribes and finds a way to travel to other worlds in a combination holy war and mass migration (also a twisted form of pub crawl, since Orks also love to fight).

Most amusingly, when Blackadder assumes the latest Head Executioner was murdered, he is informed that though they usually are, this time the man just signed his name on the wrong dotted line and they came for him while he slept: In "The Archbishop", the post of Archbishop of Canterbury is similarly undesirable, mostly because previous archbishops had a habit of persuading dying noblemen to leave their lands to the Church instead of to the KING.

Starting with Raggedstar's leadership, his first deputy Foxheart was killed by rats, and second deputy Cloudpelt died in battle with WindClan. His third deputy was his son Brokentail, who shortly afterward murdered his father to take the leadership position. Both Brokenstar and his deputy Blackfoot were exiled when their Clan and ThunderClan rose up against them. Nightpelt took the leadership role, with Cinderfur as his deputy, but both died only half a year later from illness. This is when Tigerstar stepped in and claimed leadership, but he met his end a half year afterward due to his evil scheming.

High Turnover Rate / int_f6eed39	comment	The Sopranos: The head (caporegime) of the "Aprile" crew changes many times through the course of the series, to the point that many mobsters believe it to be cursed (a more realistic interpretation might be that due to the Esplanade construction business, whoever runs that crew is the biggest earner in the family by default, which naturally invites conflict with others coveting for the position as well as with Tony himself because of the latter's greed and ungratefulness). It starts out under Richie Aprile, who is shot and killed by Janice in a domestic argument (and was already about to be taken out by Tony for plotting against him). Gigi Cestone is put in charge by Tony, but he unexpectedly dies of a heart attack while on the toilet. Ralph Cifaretto succeeds him, who lasts quite a while (against all odds, since Ralphie is a coked-up Jerkass who makes a lot of enemies) before Tony finally murders him over a dead horse. His underling Vito Spatafore replaces him, but is later outed as a homosexual and viciously murdered by his cousin-in-law Phil Leotardo for it. Tony puts in Carlo Gervasi to replace him, but he disappears in the Grand Finale when it turns out he became a federal witness. Tony finally offers the job to Paulie, who strongly rebuffs him because of the curse before reluctantly agreeing to head what remains of the crew—by that point the entire crime family is on its last legs already due to a Mob War.
