Seems to me like a good argument to give the performers a raise, promotion, what have you. Sounds harsh but maybe even let some of the slackers go. All depends

Seems to me like a good argument to give the performers a raise, promotion, what have you. Sounds harsh but maybe even let some of the slackers go. All depends on the direction the company culture wants to take; more focus, more skill or more communication. Either is fine, but the leadership should pick one and stick to it.
