I was once at a job where I didn't do much. One day I did nothing, the next day I fixed a bug in 15 minutes, etc.
I got excellent reviews. So I asked myself the question: If I get excellent reviews with this kind of work, what the fuck are those other guys doing???
> about 10%-20% of all employees
I highly doubt it. Do you have a 10x developer on your team? That's probably the only person doing any serious work. Does he get paid 10x? No? Well that's why the other guys are slacking off. Maybe the person you gave an excellent review is slacking off like crazy.
