Sorry, I should have been more specific in my last paragraph. I was talking about individual employee performance, not an across-the-board increase in performance across all company metrics like gross profit, etc. A 25% across the board performance increase would be a huge deal. If you know someone at work that doesn't really make much of a difference, there's not rally a big difference between him at 100% capacity and him at 70% capacity. Either way, he's not affecting the company baseline that much. That's how I feel about most companies I've interacted with so far. From what I've seen, your average lifer at a subcontractor for NASA doing 30% better on his monthly performance is about the same as your average SpaceXer doing 0.001% better.
