Not what I'm saying. I'm saying there are plenty of terrible engineers coasting and this will catch them.
Edit: I've been top of regular productivity charts AND the unanimous answer to "who do you go to to get unstuck?" at at least one company you've heard of. Management regularly promoted the suck ups. Read something like Blind and you'll know how prevalent this is.
- MathYouF 5y agoWell I take your point and trust that you are productive and well respected by your peers. I guess you mentioning that the flip side of the false negatives is the true negatives (people with low performance metrics who haven't been fired yet due to kissing up) is a correct response. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought your flip side was an alternative perspective on those who help others get unstuck, not on those caught by the HR performance metrics filter.
- hashkb 5y agoI'm happy to get people unstuck. It's the best for everyone and the company. I hate when a "growth hacker" moves a meaningless metric an insignificant amount and gets a bonus so some middle manager can get up and claim a "win" that makes more work for me and my team but costs the company money.
