But if you cost the company $1m you still get your $90k.

  More likely you get fired.

  Hopefully you do not have many employees that are costing you $1m a year...

    Look at the cost of Zuckerberg's metaverse push to Meta, and Musk's work to Twitter: sure, that's currently sitting at a lot more than that, but they are hoping to turn that around in a number of years. Which is to say that cost/value proposition is never simple. I've been at companies where people were paid simply not to jump to competitors.

      It isn't even limited to high profile cases like those. Same goes for a lot of hiring (in junior positions especially), it often takes some time for the employee to learn the ropes, during which time their cost (both in terms of direct costs like salary, benefits and equipment and indirect costs like the time of the people bringing them up to speed) is almost definitely higher than the value they're bringing to the business.

        Definitely: I was just putting out obvious extreme cases to illustrate the point.
