But then you're back to the initial problem they're trying to solve, which is that some person will get a manager who's way too friendly and promotes too many people, while some other poor soul gets stuck with a harsher manager than never promotes anyone. In short, it's hard to enforce consistency across a company that large.

In short, it's hard to enforce consistency across a company that large. There's always the route of complaining to your boss' boss. But I guess then Google would actually have to start to give a s#!t about their managers actually performing proper managing tasks. I can imagine though that VPs and their C-level would consider such mundane affairs to be far below Google's aspirations...
