How to gracefully ask if top performers are rewarded during job interview?
I have worked for many companies and I noticed that top performers don't get any reward for compensating the workload balance. Indeed, I noticed that French management doesn't take any measures regarding reluctant employees. Worst than that, eager employees end up doing extra work to cover the their lazy colleagues. Management relieves lazy employees and punishes good employees with extra work. In a Spanish management, however, I noticed that they take action regarding incompetent members of the team. I did a terrific job once in a specific project and I earned the respect of the remote Spanish managers, but I did not get any reward by the local (non-Spanish) management. Moreover, the Spanish management didn't do much to make sure I was rewarded. Eventually, I forced my local management to leave the project. Eventually, they lost an important customer, consequently. I am going to have a job interview next week, with an American firm. I believe the American work culture can be synthetized by "no pain, no gain". Is it doable to ask the interviewer how they reward top perfomers and address the dilemma between negociation and performance?
