All getting well paid .. are they getting any equity? Do they make more (meaningfully more) money if they do a good job? What incentives do they have to do a better job other than not being fired? Are you sure of the reasons why their performance is bad? Are you sure it is not the case that you are giving them bad instructions, and they are following them as best they can, but because the instructions are bad the overall product is bad, and when you ask them about it, they decide to agree with you that their performance is bad, rather than telling you the truth that it is all your fault, because they don't want to anger you and risk getting fired? |

No, I understand this can be a problem but at the same time I don't see a good reason to give them equity. I might give them equity and then get the bad performance again then I'll be a total idiot.

No I'm not but I've tried hard to figure out and so far couldn't pin point.

I don't think so as I openly discussed the matter and tried to change how we work to fix this problem by their suggestions. So they know if they think something will work better I'll go with that. For example with one of them we were doing daily reviews then he wanted to weekly and thought it'd be better. I agreed and didn't bother him for a week. Result same.
