&lt;p&gt;Are there ethics involved in firing someone for lack of performance? When the rationale of &quot;its all business&quot; is cited, is there room for a debate on what quantifies a capable worker: A adequate one or one who believes in over achieving? What then is adequate if your job evaluation isn&#39;t metric-heavy?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A blog today on the &lt;i&gt;Business Insider&lt;/i&gt; discusses Netflix&#39;s culture referring to a presentation posted by the company&#39;s CEO Reed Hastings. It discusses a unique workplace culture involving higher awards for over achievers and cutting out the simply adequate ones. For example, take a look at the introductory slide:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;width: 311px; height: 180px;&quot; class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/vault.com/folders/Jing/media/6bf9ecf6-3e21-4210-b3c2-97aea215b5af/2010-01-06_1446.png&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take a look at this one now:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;width: 320px; height: 198px;&quot; class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/vault.com/folders/Jing/media/ef737e64-b67e-4454-a973-2545c0a993b5/2010-01-06_1447.png&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What do you think readers? Is this the new decade of workplace competitiveness? Of course, awarding A players is essential at any workplace, but is firing the B players who do their basic job on a daily basis but don&#39;t necessarily over extend themselves acceptable? What is the definition of &quot;adequate&quot; then? Are we creating a culture of pseudoephedrine-induced super workers?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leave us a comment and tell us what you think. Or write to me at asingh@vault.com. You can view the rest of the presentation here.&lt;/p&gt;
