The healers are usually the best players. They'd be better at DPS but everyone wants to be DPS and demands heals constantly.

Well I take your point and trust that you are productive and well respected by your peers. I guess you mentioning that the flip side of the false negatives is the true negatives (people with low performance metrics who haven't been fired yet due to kissing up) is a correct response. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I thought your flip side was an alternative perspective on those who help others get unstuck, not on those caught by the HR performance metrics filter.
