Cull the bottom 10% takes a very long time (and effort) in a big company.
You still have to put the "candidate" on PIP, wait 6 months for the PIP to fail, then run the ejection process (ranging from 0-2 weeks in the US to a few months in EU).
and you have to sacrifice a senior eng to mentor the PIP'ed (else they can sue you for not giving them a fair shot).
The whole thing is much more expensive and slow than a company-wide layoff.
