That is the whole point of the parent comment: if everyone gets a plethora of warnings for normal occurrences (poorly implemented performamce metrics), then anyone can be fired for non-discriminatory reasons (backed by data!!) when the real reason for firing is something else (unionizing, protected class, workplace politics, etc.).
Selective enforcment allows for non-provable discrimination.

Having a metric that basically everyone fails to meet is no more useful for dodging accusations of illegally discriminatory firing than not having the metric at all is. Seems like everyone in this comment sub-thread is assuming that the legal professionals who go after this kind of thing are idiots and wouldn't see right through that.
