One way I look at this all though is do you honestly believe there are not ~5% of employees at your company that really aren’t cutting it and shouldn’t be there

One way I look at this all though is do you honestly believe there are not ~5% of employees at your company that really aren’t cutting it and shouldn’t be there? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a place in my career where that was the case… and often the number that should go was usually higher. Thus at some level is Amazon not just solving a problem (albeit probably imperfectly) that other companies just choose to ignore?
