I find it hard to imagine anyone stupid and scrupulous enough to go that route when the honorable and beneficial option is to a) push back on arbitrary metrics

    Of course it's mandated from above, but you always have power. There's no such thing as a powerless employee. That's the very basis of a free society. "No power" is another word for "slavery." Or maybe your point is that it's a matter of degree? Sometimes employees' have already stretched their leverage thin across other, higher priority stipulations such as free coffee, and parking privileges.

      > but you always have power. Ah yes. I can tell my manager who may tell their manager who will just say "it's company policy". If I'm not on a visa I can probably quit and go to. different company, but that's often all the power that you have.
