Companies want as much productivity as possible, claiming that they want to attract the best and brightest candidates—not that they're going to pay those candidates what they deserve. If they accidentally do manage to land one of these workers, they'll wish they hadn't when the new worker arrives and shows everyone up, sparking an internal dilemma and drawing jealousy, ire, and suspicions of the mediocre veteran workers.
If you do this, there are chances that you won't find praise and will, rather, find yourself beating your head against a brick wall as the current employees refuse to accept your results, sure that you must be doing something dishonest to pump your numbers. This will continue until an eventual investigation leads them to force you to reveal your process, which instead reveals your efficiency and effectiveness as they stare on in dumbfounded disbelief.
This "institutional mediocrity" plagues workplaces, leaving them doomed to forever operate with middling success, operating out of sad beige offices in which no fresh ideas will ever prosper.
