"What if, on the other hand, your managers suck so much that good and bad workers perform at the same level? In this case signaling to your people you don't give a crap about them puts you in a powerful negotiating position." Only with the people who can't find work elsewhere. For those that are good, the ones you do want to retain, signaling that you don't give a crap about them will get them to up and leave. Possibly with no notice period.
