> the gratitude thing is kinda fun. I imagine that managers treat that as a "positive only" indicator (lack of gratitude markers should not be counted as a negative, but a lot of them should be counted as a positive), since it's dependent on coworkers who do that kind of thing. Depending on how it's done. I've seen similar systems where it became an additional metric to measure an engineer. Engineers became upset if they helped a coworker but did not receive any gratitude. (not receiving gratitude means that the help is not documented, so the helping engineer can't claim it during perf reviews)
