olympic

Whoever came up with the idea of high-rep olympic lifts needs to be shot. Seriously, it's incredibly dangerous.

To expand on the example of olympic athletes: I don't know about that specific example, but to expand to "professional athletes", an awful lot of people do think about being a football star, a top baseball player, whatever. But ultimately, even children with dreams have a basic understanding of risk vs.

It's almost like having an olympic athletic squad turn up to the local school sports day and dominate every trophy. Since I don't have as much time or interest in games as I used to when I was a teenager I tend to avoid online play in many games because the experience is generally just getting curb stomped over and over again by more experienced/obsessive players and sometimes in team based RTS games I get kicked from a team because "I don't team with noobs".

You probably need to fire the bottom 50%, but then you wouldn't have enough personnel to keep all your assets going AND some of that 50% would also be good employees who lost out in the last edition the political olympic games. Any well-intentioned change in process or product focus by top-management will also inevitable morph into something completely different thanks to your low-quality middle managers who won't understand what you're trying to do, but will understand that they need to step up the politics to keep their jobs.
