Every time this has been attempted, it devolves into toxic work culture. Also, how can you know what other people are working on? Most of the work is outside anyone's scope, and end up toxic when optimizing for arbitrary metrics.
I speak for myself, mostly unrelated to articles put on www. I don't have to agree or disagree by anyone else's metrics and dominating rhetorics. Not meant to disrespect, but am not fully aboard naive beliefs. Experience and learning from others will in time tell, and moderate good intentions.
- lkrubner 6y agoNo, I think you are thinking of systems like the stacked rank system they used at Microsoft.
- loopz 6y agoThat too. Not saying your ideas have no merit, but such always need refinement. People who think they're the shit usually local-optimize, so don't regard anyone's evaluations as much since people generally don't know what work other people do, or are excluded from. This is regarded upside-down usually, since a good worker leaving should be unnoticed by the org. But some people play Hero, to detriment of every one around them, or expect others to do their work because all they see is their own little bubble. That's OK by itself, but doesn't merit enough opinion for policy and governance levers. It's kind of like gardeners optimizing for monoculture, and complaining about falling market prices and disease leading to lower; but predictable yields.
