I know. And that's not how it should be. I've had the privilege/luck of working in orgs where my management actually gave a shit and tried to do the best by their employees. If someone is struggling we do our best to get them back to performing or find them a position that works. I don't think we've ever had to fire anyone.

Cutting an arbitrary 10% of people (or a few underperforming products) is absolute bullshit. It's unfair to the employees because it doesn't give them a chance to improve, and it's unfair to customers because stuff they rely on disappears.
