I'm curious do they get promoted from cheating or really doing the work. There are those people who get stuff done by getting others to help them do it. Not sure how the manager would find out though, without the peers who help telling.
Nice to see UT Dallas represented here, even if it's in this context.
I noticed during the years that the people that cheat in the interviews are not afraid to lie on results or steal colleagues' work and pretend it is theirs. When enough managers are fine with that, it becomes an internal open secret on how promotions work. When you also have targets for promotions and you have to bend the rules (pretty bad) to meet these targets, the entire evaluation and promotion system becomes a joke.
