I generally agree with the 80/20 rule, but I can understand the 10% opinion.Exactly what I was thinking.This idea obviously isn't going to work for businesses that have a significant amount of low-skilled or unskilled labor too, of course.
In my near 30 years working experience I can say that maybe, maybe 10% of the population both desire and are willing to put in the effort to succeed financially in whatever field they are in. Take away the financial incentive why the hell would anyone work any harder than just enough to not get fired?
If an employer's going to try this, they'll have to create and enforce very clear, trackable and measurable expectations for keeping your job.
If an employer who's trying this gets soft and lets people take advantage of them, it ain't gonna work.
