Do people still try to do KPI? I haven't worked in an organization that has done that in ages. Its so well known to not work and backfire, its a giant red flag

Do people still try to do KPI? I haven't worked in an organization that has done that in ages. Its so well known to not work and backfire, its a giant red flag if an organization implements it.
- kaoD 3y agoWhat I noticed is fashionable now are OKRs. Never seen them work correctly though.
- sarchertech 3y agoOh it’s still filtering its way down through the big companies. Most startups eventually hire someone who had experience with metrics driven management at bigco who starts selling it as a panacea.
- gardenhedge 3y agoAgree with the red flag. I'd hesitate to join a place led by KPIs
- cableshaft 3y agoFrom my limited experience they seem to have shifted to OKRs, which are pretty much the same thing with a different name, at least for the companies I've worked for. I hate it just as much. Currently two of my OKRs for this quarter based on what I thought a project was going to be and have since discovered I was wrong, so they don't actually matter and I'll have limited opportunity to achieve them. Great, so now they get a fun data point can point to in order to give me a smaller bonus next year.
