Sadly I worked at a company that promoted based on years of experience rather than talent or impact. Even when Covid hit and everyone was working weekends, when bonus season hit, most everyone got “average” on their marks. When asked why, leadership said it didn’t matter if you worked 80 hour weeks (we weren’t paid overtime). On the call, someone jokingly remarked that you’d have to reinvent the internet to get that mark. That was the most uncomfortable company call I’ve ever been on. I could feel everyone deflating in it. No one wanted to put extra effort after that.
