IMO this is a key issue with this system. The company evidently only cares about the employee as long as they're employees, and can dispose them and forget about them, like they'd dispose any other leftover resource.
But evidently said people are still around. If every company adopted a system like this, in theory it'd be great for the economy. It's capitalism, and you're getting rid of the people who sell you the least effective labour in an easily scalable way.
In practice, all these companies are pumping out a lot of stress, and it's thus no surprise the USA is notoriously burdened by mental health issues when compared to other high-income countries [1].
