>>she can decide how big a package she gives to each of her team members

In my experience this turns out be a huge scam. Worse a legally sanctioned scam.

Say she had 11 members in her team. She will give $90 to her pet, and $1 each to the remaining 10. That is how this works on the longer run. The definition of a 'high performer' is often hazy here, and a case can be built up to justify giving the money to whom she wants.

Eventually it turns out there are enormous cartel like structures, you have to be in them to get paid up well. Or you slog like a donkey and quit eventually.

Nope. Netflix would not allow that to happen. There is always a balance and check, freedom and responsibility, right?

Who is watching? And who will keep things in check?

People who are supposed to approve, audit and verify are a part of the same system playing with the same incentives.
