100% variable pay? That sounds risky...

High base pay with low variable pay seems safe, but I recall that it might not drive performance as effectively as a more variable approach.

I lean towards option C because it balances base and variable pay, but I wonder if 90/10 is the right split for every company.

I think 100% variable pay sounds motivating, but it might not be practical for all employees. I feel like we had a similar question in practice.

I remember discussing how a varying pay mix can really align incentives with company goals, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice here.
