I know a workplace that cycles through its entire HR department more than once a year. At one point, everyone had their own emails, but now the turnover is so high that they just don't bother. And the reason is simple: HR requires a degree and a certification. And they pay them probably only 50-66% what they should, so when any internal job posting is posted, they nominate themselves, interview themselves, and transfer themselves out to the better position... Which includes front-line workers, because with tips they're vastly out-earning the degree-and-cert HR professionals.

The company will inevitably claim they can't fill the roles, and need foreign workers... Because no one wants to work for 1.25x minimum wage for a job that requires a degree AND a secondary certification. They have done so, in fact... But of course those people ALSO can see the pay rates, and just transfer out, too. Leading to needing even more, in a snowballing feedback loop. Could have had just one worker, but out of the need to have two half-price ones, they're hiring 20-30.
