We reduced the pressure to get promoted to grow compensation. Instead of forcing employees to seek promotions, we calibrated talent and tapped high performers on the shoulder to award salary refreshes directly. This allows key individual contributors to earn more money than their managers without forcing them to transition into people management roles.
