No. You said that. Not sure what you are reading.

It is basically getting rid of very low performers, slackers and those unable to deliver those expected goals.

No where did it say what you have just said.

No - it is specifically aimed at getting rid of people who were doing fine before -- may have been top performers, even -- but who refuse to go into overdrive (start sacrificing sleep, or time with their families) to meet artificial goals.

That is to say: goals designed to reduce headcount -- by turning high performers into low performers.
