My experience is that employees just for the sake of employees are of no use and a lot of companies have too much fat just because they could hire. Great employees though are worth every penny and a whole lot more. As a small company, I have hired and fired few people over the years. When I made the wrong hire, it cost a lot not just in terms of money but the overhead, mental anguish and loss in productivity. Sometimes I got lucky and hired some exceptional people. They have made life 2x better and yes they do get rewarded accordingly at least in my company. Not all employees produce equal (even if same job title and experience on paper) and it is a fact.
