Because we don’t know how to measure output properly and corporations often misattribute success. I’ve seen it happen a few times where someone delivering crap quickly is praised (oh, look how productive he is, so many tickets closed) or someone who has good autopromotion skills (does little but talks a lot about it) or someone who simply led the project, and not the guys who did the high quality work. Then there is often a group of people fixing stuff after a super star moves to another sexy project. There is a saying „if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, you need a team”.
