When “hold people accountable to metrics” is not just your company’s management philosophy but the gospel of its entire surrounding culture, this is not an argument that gets anywhere.

My point is rzimmerman never contextualized this as a "how to navigate the workspace" argument, they are arguing it from a pure technical perspective.
