Every senior role is always very arbitrary while the junior ones are very practical. I feel that this is why big companies fail because you can never actually tell if the senior employees fulfill their expectations because it comes down to personal preference.

Stuff like this only shows that it's not worth making too much of an effort since it's not really recognized anyway. The only time effort and monetary benefits go hand in hand is when you are the owner of the company you make your efforts for.

I think a lot of it stems from the fact that it's difficult if not impossible to measure programmer productivity. Once people realise this they start playing political games rather than focussing on their own output.
