Perf has been over for almost a month now, and the evaluation period was over more than two months ago.

Excellent time to slack off a bit, make a few mistakes, then come next eval you can point to a marked improvement over the intervening six-to-nine months!

The people who did the stuff have either gotten their promotions and moved on or didn't get a promotion and have given up.
