It'd be nice to work for an org like that.
My entire career, any performance tweaking has had to be skunkworks, has never been rewarded.
At my very first tech dev job, my coworker and I speed up a novel workflow, as in brand new technology (think OCR for blueprints), about 4x faster. Made our new service practical. We were so thrilled. Boss man was unimpressed. "You should have thought of that before." I'm still angry about it. Clearly.
Ok. Wait. That's not entirely correct. A recent team did claim to have targets for P90, P99. So we measured. But it wasn't systematic, nor global. None of the other web services (teams) bothered, so our effort didn't actually matter. And even then my team wasn't willing to sacrifice our sacred cows to consistently attain the P90, P99 targets.
