Was about to ask the same question. Performance measures vary between companies, sector, and management structures.

Netflix doesn't reward hard workers. They reward smart workers. If you get your job done in 5 mins, and take the rest of the day off, they will reward you with a 20% raise every year. If you work your ass off 16 hrs a day but don't get your work done, you will get laid off.

Keep in mind that "the job" I'm referring to is more complex that regular jobs, but they hire people that can do the job that they need them to.
