Company performance is so separated from employee input, and value add is so difficult to measure for most positions that I don't trust this model as a useful guide. It's like an oversimplified model from an outdated econ textbook that has nothing to do with how things work in the real world.

Company performance is exactly defined by employee input from the start. Later on people can coast on input from past employees, sure.
But the company in the end is a result of the aggregation of all current and past employee input
Citibank is well into the "Later on" part then. They have 200k employees and are in a heavily regulated industry, it's not some startup where you can make a meaningful difference with a cool MVP that you developed over the weekend.
