Delete comment from: Simplicity @ the other side of Complexity
Very thought provoking article. One aspect (that I have seen as a HR professional myself) is the tendency of employees to compare negatively - "he is worse off than me in coding / QA still gets higher rating than me, so why didnt I?". Its the same rhetoric we see from motorists on Indian roads - "he also went through the no entry and did not get punished so why should I?" when caught by a cop!! Until this mentality goes away and introspection is based on absolute benchmarks, it will be difficult to deal with such employees.
