What makes me look askance at this practice as a whole is when the ok/bad people are put in charge of the good workers. I've been a part of and heard of other teams (in my case specifically as a trench-software worker) being run into the ground by someone cross promoted and given serious control w/o oversight and minimal leadin.
Obviously that's anecdotal at best, but I've seen it in my corner as extremely common.
