I once worked with a test manager that was effectively judged by how many bugs were found and how many tests were written. He was actually a nice guy just trying to play the game given to him, but if you didn't know this you would think he was doing exactly as you described.
There will always be a few bad eggs in the mix, but I'd check the incentives forced on them before judging too harshly.
The ones I’m dealing with now aren’t very transparent about these things. I’ve tried fishing a little to see what’s behind it, but need to tread lightly to avoid getting yelled at for an hour.
