> If you’re paying someone 50th percentile compensation and demanding a 90th percentile work pace and output from them, you’re just going to have endless turnover as you burn people out.

Only if they're a 50th percentile person.

Burnout does not work like that.

I don't think burnout would have been any easier on me if I'd been taking home a 90th percentile salary instead of a ~mean one.

Burnout is also not only a function of workload. Other factors can contribute too.
