This makes lots of sense. But I never see it play out this way.
Because in a given company, if you ask people to identify “the deadwood” there will be a couple standouts, but otherwise quite a bit of variability. If nothing else because everyone has ego centric biases that over compensate their own contributions (or that of their function/department). And then it’s really just a mosh pit of politics that decides who stays and goes.
Or put more succinctly “one man’s deadwood is another’s diamond in the rough.”
