Usually, the bad ones are fired or at best, shunted aside where they could do the least damage. One colleague was just promoted to manager. She was qualified for that because: 1) She is technically very skilled and very smart. Knows her applications thoroughly. Fast at solving problems. 2) She works hard and efficiently. Comes in early and stays late. HOWEVER, she is one of the techie-types I personally would not have promoted--this is because she is difficult to get along with. She has very little patience, and gets angry easily. She loses her temper and will scream at people who screw up.
