what can go wrong? such a ridiculous policy . what a race to the bottom, literally. the employee pool just keeps gettin smaller, untill you’re left with everything being optimized to the point that we do not need humans any more. . How does anyone think this is sustainable? you’re not just cutting the so-called weakest links, you’re gutting morale, making everyone paranoid, and pretty soon the only ones left are the ones who know how to play the game --- not necessarily the ones who actually do the best work... it's short-sighted and lazy, and at some point, it’s just gonna backfire when there's nobody left who actually gives a damn or knows how to behave when a major problem comes along.
