WTF? "Hire to fire" practices by hiring manager in tech

Quotes from the article:

"Some Amazon managers say they hire people they intend to fire just to meet their turnover goal."
"The practice is internally called 'hire to fire,' according to three Amazon managers."
"Amazon employees say the performance-review system gives managers too much power over their careers."

I didn't even know there was such a thing as a "turnover goal". Can someone help me understand why this is legal, and what's the point of a "turnover goal"?

https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-managers-performance-reviews-hire-to-fire-internal-turnover-goal-2021-5 Some Amazon managers say they 'hire to fire' people just to meet the internal turnover goal every year The practice is internally called "hire to fire," in which managers hire people they intend to fire within a year just to meet their turnover goal.

Why the fuck would any company want turnover? Turnover costs companies thousands of dollars per employee.
