As an engineer, I mean it kind of comes down to competition doesn’t it? If entity A is able to get something done 5x faster than entity B and just as well, wouldn’t you choose entity B in the future? Sure entity A might have been acceptable but at a certain point, who’s more likely to get a contract, a promotion, a raise, a pay cut, or laid off? This stuff matters, it’s how the world works, it’s no secret. Generally, pay cuts and layoffs are reserved for when the company is suffering but really what is happening the tolerance for slack is dropping, and productivity will absolutely play into that.
