Wait, is 100% variable even realistic? Sounds a bit extreme!

I’m leaning towards option D because having a high base pay could help with employee retention, but I'm not confident it's the best for motivation.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question that suggested a mix of base and variable pay could be more motivating for most employees.

I think option A makes sense because it allows for flexibility based on how much impact an employee has on the company's goals.
