Targetting a percentage to fire for underperformance is nuts. I hear stories from companies that have incredibly broken incentives as a result: Managers try to hoard bad employees so they have people to fire when word from the top comes down to drop the bottom 5%, you've got people to let go. |

- Keep them ? Let them suck and just be compassionate. They have stomachs to feed.
- Let them go over time, one by one. Can create a very fearful atmosphere where there is a sword hanging over anyone who can be let go for any definition of "under performance".
- Let them go at once, within a x% range, which probably gets decided based on a ton of things. But at least it is not slowly degrading the morale day by day. The downside is that if this a regular periodic thing, it can create a fiercely competitive and insecure environment in the company.
