Yep exactly, so many of the key employees are never identified by the metrics used by bean counters to decide who to cut. I would love to help out all the people in my org who want me to look at their PR and help them learn C++ a bit better, but unfortunately I would doom myself in the internal metrics for performance reviews. I saw too many of the people who were truly valuable in how they basically helped everyone else do the actual quantifiable work get RIFed in prior cycles.
