THE DEBATE
The room is split
If the whole team walked into the review, who would reach for The Promotion Packet, and who would push back.
💖 Would reach for it
PatThe Enterprise Adult“A committee needs comparable evidence across teams; without a rubric, promotions go to the best lobbyist.”
AlexThe Architect“Scope is measurable: the system three other teams now build on belongs in the packet.”
MayaThe Visionary“Bets that changed the company deserve to be written up loudly; ten tries, one legend.”
🛑 Would push back
HugoThe Perfectionist“Four hundred days without a Sev1 is 900 reviews and every holiday on call; no packet sees it.”
RuthThe Maintainer“Twenty-three years and nobody noticed; prevention never fits the template.”
MorganThe Threat Modeler“The breaches that never happened are her best work, and they are impossible to demo.”
