"Top talent likes top talent." That I can agree with. I know people can't be fired from big companies, but I wish they could be indefinitely suspended with pay. ("We'll pay you to STOP CHECKING IN CODE.") Then the three people with a clue wouldn't have to waste their time reverting the mistakes of the people trying hard for a good performance review.
You hit the nail right on the head. I used to say this all the time when I was working for Oracle. There were plenty of people who weren't even contributing nothing - they were forcing the competent people to take time away from real work to fix the bugs these people caused. Negative value, indeed.
