Re your edit: Not necessarily. They may be a winner under the KPI regime, and may feel that they are less likely to be so under a saner regime.

For example, if I'm a manager that can make my people hit their KPIs, and my KPIs are about getting my people to hit theirs, then I'm subject to KPIs, and I like it. It's easier than making my people succeed at what really matters, and it makes me look good.
