      Pros

      Good place to hide if you are not a performer, no one gets fired. If you are being poached they pay large guaranteed packaged.

      Cons

      -- downside is that the generators end up paying for everybody else, as in a socialist society. -- legacy people have ended up paying for the new people i.e. legacy got underpaid in order to pay for bringing in new people that were overpaid. -- too many french in senior management, they are invisible and add no value.
