Janz: Cutting bottom 5-10% of staff costs almost no productivity
“Every company has five to 10% or maybe even more of people on their team who are just not performing as well as the rest. There is just no company where everybody is at the same level. So just consider letting go, like, the bottom five to 10%. In the sales tea…”
