Nope, not even close to true in my experience. Almost all of the high performers I know have a huge social network they can tap into and you can't finger them as SWEs from a mile away.

Do these high performers also cast their colleagues with tasteful adjectives such as "abject"? Must be a bunch of very interesting people indeed.
