RE: Good DBA vs. Bad DBA

Don't be so sure,
Many people don't want to advance 'right now'. Many would prefer to wait until later. I was personally pushed into management too early and chose to leave the company. Demotion would have pretty much destroyed my credibility at that company, however ( as Patrice said ) if I'd stayed in my old job and refused the promotion I'd have been written off as an unambitious underachiever. Employers don't want people who'll settle for what they've got.
For all of the "I'm a techie and fiercely proud of it" rhetoric that I often hear very few people (I hope) would choose to close the door on any possibility of future promotion at their company. Only an idiot would deny themselves a choice.

Good, then they will not get more offers and will go on doing the thing that they like.

That is the purpose of refusing advancement.
