Speanking of Full Metal Jacket.. if you’re having trouble meeting your development milestones, have you considered the R. Lee Ermey motivational figure?

Personally, I like to welcome all new developers to our team with a slightly modified but highly inspirational R. Lee Ermey speech:
“If you ladies survive recruit training, you will be a [DEVELOPER]. You will be a minister of death praying for [MORE DEVELOPMENT TASKS]. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human fucking beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit. Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve on my beloved [DEVELOPMENT TEAM]. Do you maggots understand that?”
I have no idea why there’s so much turnover.
