Applicable to HP, but written by Forbes Mag - This article must be on every Hewlett Packard Enterprise Managers "absolute must read" list. I just experienced the Suddenly Stupid part, years of awards, commendations (for customer service), now I've been written up for sub par performance..... Am I paranoid?
