Because incentives don’t align. Once you make a rubric that people can actually attain - everyone will meet that bar. But that doesn’t work - you need to fire people because upper management believes that the threat of firing people will keep more unpaid labor coming out. (Generally true but it comes with a cost - lower productivity and mind wandering and doing things to not be fired… which doesn’t line up with some of upper managements higher goals…) It’s the result of a low trust society. Yay.
