these employees should understand that if they would have delivered, the new hires would not have taken their place. At some level your pay is not tied to seniority, but impact on the organization. If the new hires do not deliver, they will see the door faster than anyone else in the company.

Huh? In a large company you can deliver everything you are allowed to deliver and more and not make impacts or not get credit for them that translates to the salary any new hire gets when there is a supply gap.
