This "just use OKRs" comment is funny when contrasted with another comment that described how OKRs were "gamed" at his company: https://news.ycombinator.com/ite

  It’s even funnier when it’s apparent that company isn’t really doing OKR. First of all, the Os are supposed to be somewhat resistant to change in direction. Second of all, you shouldn’t be doing KPI on top of OKR. If you set the OKRs right, you’ll set stretch goals so ambitious, even if you game the completion percentage, the simple answer to whether you are doing the right things or performing should still be immediately answerable.
