Eric Glyman warns generous pay and lack of cuts can undermine top performers — Glyman warns on Valley pay strategy

Silicon Valley companies are at risk of underperforming due to pay and talent management strategies, according to commentary by Eric Glyman.

Glyman notes that many technology firms have adopted patterns associated with Google, preferring to avoid job cuts and instead distribute generous compensation while citing corporate culture as justification. However, Glyman suggests this approach may be detrimental when it leads to tolerating lower standards of work from some employees. In his assessment, failing to address mediocre performance can drive away high-performing talent and result in less effective organizations overall.

''Tolerating B and C work is not kindness to your A players,'' Glyman wrote, warning that this practice can cause companies to fall short of their potential.
