> But if you lift a finger and earn a passing grade

Unfortunately, it takes more than lifting a finger to earn a passing grade. These companies are competitive and do fire low performers pretty easily, whether they are new employees or been there for a decade. The word goes that Google is more lenient on that regard though, I'd be curious to see some numbers.
