I've never been at a company where deadlines are what keeps people getting a paycheck. Overall output is what kept the paychecks flowing. Deadlines are an artificial construct in most cases and in most of the remaining they're just a way to synchronize work. If a feature comes out today or in a week or a month has little difference in the vast majority of cases. If you get 1 or 5 or 10 features out this month has a difference.
