Most of their points seemed reasonable to me, until the end “if they aren’t a high performer, fire them immediately”.
A few months into one of my first jobs after college I was given a stern lecture from my manager “we don’t mind you leaving early on Friday if your work is getting done, but it’s not”. That was the wake up call I needed and I worked for the company for another 8 years, becoming, I’d like to think, a valuable high performer.
If they remain a low performer, then that’s another story…
This is how almost all companies work, although it's rarely spelled out in a written policy.
I'm not even sure it's necessarily immoral (as long as it doesn't involve special treatment for extreme cases like SA), companies want to retain high performers so giving them perks like more leniency around attendance policies is one way to do that.
