I think it was more like the bottom 5%. The theory is by cutting the bottom and always hiring you constantly improve your workforce. The reality is then you will always fill reqs, sometimes as quickly as possible, to make sure there is a sacrifice for the gods. Perversely, a team of high-performers is actually punished, as everyone is also ranked against each other, so even if you have the top 10 performers in the company, one or more of them may be fired and will often have their compensation effected (less/no RSUs etc.). Certainly that was how it felt about 5 years ago, not sure about today.
