No. The best strat is to pay as much as you can and treat them as well as you can so that your best workers stay happy and stay longer. Don't let your most cavebrained competitors beat you on talent and leave you with the underperformers nobody else wants. If you can't afford to invest in quality then you're already losing.
Honestly the top 75% as an average is a good target. You want some all stars and you want some regular players. What’s really important is to have respect from top to bottom that everyone is important. An all-star is never a prima dona… the opposite in fact, because they’re paid more to lead and to improve and guide others.
