> I’m considered a low performer along with 3/4ths of my team. We’re a 4 man engineering team.

If three out of four people are "low performers", you're good. They can't fire all three of you.

One guy being too slow incdcates a problem with that guy. Most of the team being "too slow" indicates a problem with management.

If you legitimately believe it’s a problem with management, then I wouldn’t assume “you’re good.”

Who’s to say management is going to act rationally now?

And if management does act rationally and the team is 3 poor performers, what’s worse: keeping them around or firing them?
