I would rather not work in a place that gave me recognition for a high XP here. I don't even pay attention to XP on the site itself - people make an impression with me by what they post. Quite obviously someone who is likely to make an impression is someone who is likely to get a lot of upvotes. But XP is the consequence of respect, if it is anything at all. If respect is given as a consequence of XP, we get a destructive feedback loop.

Makeshifts last the longest.
