But is it actually interesting why this started? As a purely economic experiment it's surely at least not a total failure as the company is still standing. I'm not sure what value the "high performer" qualification has in this instance. They were the highest paid, but I don't think we have any guarantees to their actual output. If the CEO is an untrustworthy agent (as some of the stories make him out to be) how can we trust any of the valuations of his employees?
