Hard to argue with this based on personal experience. Performance-based pay is a straightforward concept that works — you do good work, you get recognized and compensated for it. That direct connection between effort and reward is what actually motivates people to show up and do the job properly. The protecting the worst employees problem is real and it's what poisons the whole environment. When someone knows they can't be let go regardless of output it changes how they approach the job, and the people around them notice. That resentment builds fast. The Nissan point is a good one. Voting against unionizing multiple times isn't a small thing — those are workers making an informed choice about what works for them and their plant. Results seem to back it up. The automation angle is underrated in this conversation too. People treat it like a dead end but there's real skilled work in maintaining and running that equipment and it tends to pay well for people willing to learn it.
