Big Tech's new playbook: Trim the fat; pay the stars
Briefly

Big Tech companies, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, are shifting their compensation models to focus more on rewarding top performers while tightening scrutiny on underperformers. Amazon has restructured its pay system, granting more significant rewards to long-standing top performers. This trend reflects a broader industry move to prioritize performance and efficiency over mere employee headcount, as companies have shifted from lavish incentives to fostering high-quality work with fewer resources. This significant pivot indicates a new era where the emphasis is placed on talent rather than just numbers.
