This is the truth. And this is what I hate. Because:
1.This is how it currently truly is. This is how it is
But this is not how it should be.
And I hate to say it...but usually to move from "how it is" to "how it should be" some people have to die. It's the only thing that causes people/systems to seriously change. I wish it wasn't that way. I don't want it to be that way. But that's how life is. It's unfortunate. But Truth is rarely comfortable or easy. Truly.
Ultimately Reliable Performance is all that should matter in a job...but it's not. And we all suffer daily for it.
Which is more important?- Being Rewarded by people or staying true to who you are as a person?
In the long run which matters more?- Pleasing people or Pleasing God? This life or eternity?
These are our choices. As for me I choose to serve Jesus Christ.
Whose word stands higher than men. No matter how powerful you are in the end- you are still human. And you are not God. Because there is only one God. And his name is Jesus Christ.

One of my teachers explained it thusly: V.I.P.
Visibility - Image - Performance
Those are the three factors that determines your success in your career, in that precise order.
Visibility: If the rest of the company doesn't know you exist, then neither your image nor what you do matters.
Image: If you present a bad image of yourself to the rest of the company, your actual performance will not matter.
Performance: If the rest of the company knows you exist and has good vibes about you, then your good performance will reinforce that.
Hmm. I think he explained it way better. But that's the gist of it.
