Stuff like this may start with good intentions but in the end management will almost always transform it into micromanagement hell. Management will ask you "Why did you spend less time on X than the average worker?" but if you give an explanation with suggestions to fix something that will mostly get ignored. Happened with Scrum/Agile for example. The original idea was that the whole company would get transformed and improved by a series of retrospectives but in a lot of companies it has devolved into daily micromanagement from top down but feedback doesn't trickle up.
In the end companies behave internally like dictatorships so they shouldn't be given more tools that befit a totalitarian dictatorship.

- maxxxxx 8y agoI meant something like “why did you spend less time in front of your computer”. It doesn’t really matter . My point was that management will pick a simple metric and micromanage people for that metric without considering that there may be a little more nuance.
- thatoneuser 8y agoOh how I know about the suggestions to fix. My experience with scrum was basically just the company wanting to retroactively chastise people for investing time in things that didn't pay out but which no one could know that ahead of time.
