The planning/pointing process can only benefit people with high status. Rules don't really impact high status employees. If somebody with high status doesn't meet expectations we tend to think the problem is with the expectations; if they are low status we tend to think the problem is with the person. In the same way the high status employee has a lot more say over the way story points are allocated and how the work is allocated. I've been low-status before despite being just as good as everyone else in the team and I've also been high-status despite being one of the worst in the team. When you are low status people focus on your mistakes. When you are high status people look at your successes and overall contribution.
