I don't particularly care for the present promotion, tenure, salary increment system that I find myself in, because it is mostly based on years of service as opposed to the value of my service. But I care much less, and even fear, a system in which some administrator bases these things on some sort of merit system. The systems in which administrators exercise some degree of judgment over promotions, tenure, salary are those very systems that permit cronyism, glass ceilings (especially sexism, but also racism and personality conflicts), age discrimination, etc.
