It's totally reasonable for a company to ask you to prove you're worth it or just fire you, just like it's totally reasonable for you to demand your company prove they're worthy to employ you (increase your pay or benefits) or jump to another opportunity

I think the idea of bell curving people and firing the bottom is extremely dumb, a form of decimation with similar results. It's a culture destroyer and invents many perverse incentives in the company that are counter productive to "make great products".

But ultimately I don't think it's unreasonable for someone to be authentically reviewed poorly and made to prove they should stay.
