"I hold this as a rule of life: Too much of anything is bad." (Terence) I believe that this can be true in the debate about performance-based pay. Hypothetically, an employee works for an organization where his/her pay is based 50% on performance. She is leader of 1 of approximately 20, 4-6 person teams, fighting for accounts at a large marketing firm. If her team gets an account, they receive a 30% bonus. If they don't they will be earning much less that expected with the possibility of termination. Now this is an extreme situation but there are many negatives here. The work environment would have to be extremely cutthroat and hostile. Ideas wouldn't be shared decreasing creativity as a part of the company culture. Though the company would be highly productive, at what cost. The high turn-over rate would increase HR costs and the company reputation would make it even more difficult to rehire.
