[삼성 노사 대타협]② 적자여도 성과급 60%, 무너진 33년 성과주의

Samsung Electronics ends its 33-year reign of strict performance-based meritocracy by guaranteeing bonus payments even to loss-making divisions—a strategic pivot from profit-driven hierarchy toward organizational solidarity critical for AI chip leadership. This decision directly tackles the chronic talent drain plaguing non-memory semiconductor divisions that faced systematic compensation disparities, which threatened the company's technical competitiveness and cross-divisional innovation. The shift signals how entrenched high-pressure performance systems must evolve to retain specialized expertise and enable ecosystem-wide collaboration essential for next-generation semiconductor dominance.
