    “But you see, chopping the bottom 10% isn’t the same as chopping the bottom 5%.”

    “But you see, chopping the bottom 1% every month of the year isn’t the same as chopping the bottom 5% in a single action”

      He probably found himself on the bottom 5% performers after losing the company billions if dollaroos with the dumb VR investing. He just didn’t want to be let go.

      The idea, cruel as it may be, is that you keep hiring more people while chopping off the bottom, keeping the headcount at your desirable level.

      Unregretted attrition is however one of the most potent poisons you can introduce into your company culture. Perhaps this is why Zuck opted against it this year - signs of cultural decay may have already set in.

        You end up with managers hiring bad candidates to save the rest of their team.

      People need money and they are willing to sell their soul, bend over backwards, lick them boots to climb that corporate ladder.

      The hierarchy has been created for a reason and nobody can fuck with Mark. Know your place pleb!
