#2Apple being the least tenured certainly breaks the notion that companies with better public images do better at retaining employees.

#3I don't think it's entirely fair to conclude that because someone doesn't leave a company, they don't want to leave. If ConocoPhillips is the only employer in a small town or the only one paying above minimum wage and you have a family to support, you might not have a financially responsible option to leave if you work for them. It is useful to see median tenure data by company and industry, however.

Yeah, it was strange seeing Apple have shorter average retention than Amazon. Maybe Apple is just much much better about keeping employees from publicly complaining.

I’m not sure about the methodology here… Apple has a huge retail workforce that almost certainly plays a role.
ETA: Sort of analogous to Amazon’s warehouse workforce.
I couldn’t find it in the source, but I assume they’re only counting people who _have_ left these companies? Otherwise growing companies with a higher percentage of newer employees would be heavily penalized.

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

I think it’s actually indicative that people get a lot of talent on their resume that they can get poached or move into other roles in the industry.

#8It’s interesting that the top companies where employees leave often are tech companies. I wonder why this is?

#9While I think the data is good, the conclusion of "don't want" is downright silly to me, because if you look at all the top contenders, "don't have any better options" seems like a better interpretation to me.
If you work at Apple (company with the shortest tenure), then you likely have tons of other options, and can job hop your way into higher and higher comp. If you work for one of the giant oil companies, where else are you going to go (generally, of course this doesn't apply to everyone equally)? This is especially true in many places where oil and gas jobs are the only working class jobs that pay well.
Edit: other good comment also pointed out that Apple has a huge retail workforce that would definitely bring down the average tenure.

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.
