in all fairness, most developers that are still passionate about code aren't looking for promotion anyway, because usually once you hit the management level positions you do far less code and more bureaucracy bullshit, and what code you do is usually limited to guidance or review.

Now being passed on raises or laid off? that might be annoying.

This. I avoid management positions like the plague. I already don't like having to deal with my own performance review. I don't want to deal with several other people's. I'll take the pay hit.
