I think people's apprehension over this kind of metric is entirely justified. As you say, it's not a good measure of almost anything. But that doesn't mean an employer can't treat it as a valid metric, and use it as a justification to remove or punish employees they don't like.
- ogre_codes 6y agoIt's good that Microsoft is removing this, but I'm skeptical it will make any difference in the end. Absent this, a shitty boss is going to use some other, equally pointless metric.

- ogre_codes 6y agoMore like saying "You should get that polio vaccine... but you are still going to get hit by a car." Ultimately, if you have a bad boss, they are going to find some shitty way to screw you over. If you have a good boss, this is irrelevant. I do think it's good that Microsoft pulled this, I'm just cynical it will make a difference.
