Skill assessment algorithms always make it easier to move up than to move down in order to prevent malicious manipulation. Not saying it's good or fair. Just saying that this is how they work and why they work that way. Ironically, for me this has always been a huge disincentive for effort. It's exactly like the "performance punishment" in certain kinds of jobs. Where you prove that you're capable of doing the work and suddenly you're the one who is constantly being interrupted on your day off to come in and do what ever it is no one else felt like doing. They still get their paycheck, but you're the one doing the heavy lifting when you're not even supposed to be there. And your bosses think they're rewarding you. It's the same thing here.
