How much damage does a routine underperformer cause vs. creating a very toxic corporate culture where routine underperformers learn that it's easier to slow others down and those same managers now hire underperformers on purpose?

That's why I don't like quota-based policies, but never firing underperformers also has its own significant problems, so finding the right balance is important.

Neither pin is a good place to be.
