But what exactly are the arguments here? Please don't get me wrong but in this entire post, I see "opinion" or "personal experiences" and not "arguments." While there is a possibility that people in the local management can listen to "personal experience" of someone they regard highly (bill gates?), they are more involved with clients than finding out what the "gurus" of the industry have to say. So, what matters to the client, matters to them. They are not interested in knowing that there are indispensable star performers in any company, unless they learn from personal mistakes. Again, what I have said above is my opinion and personal experience. I don't have any convincing argument/ market survey to base my feedback on. @Mansoor: Yes, we should have arguments, and we should communicate to the “management.” But what exactly are the arguments here?

Finally, at the least here in our dear country, salary/ growth is somewhat proportional to communication skills. Unfortuantley, the "star employees" are not good communicators. Too bad for them!
