[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I pass by my housemate’s office - he never has camera on but I see a screen of heads.

I do hear him talking - but but never camera on. [/quote]

So I do wonder if others think, but it’s not my business obviously. Just curious if he was shooting self on foot.[/quote]

DP. The only way to not shoot yourself in the foot with this is if there are definable goals that can be measured, and that you are meeting all goals, if not outright out performing.

One of the problems for companies is most don't have the tools to measure performance. (Someone was on DCUM yesterday concerned that there is no way to show that HE is performing, and others aren't, since the measurement is of the team as a whole, and team as a whole is not performing. He is getting his goals accomplished, then others aren't. And no way to show that he is getting his work accomplished.)

Anyway, plenty of people will put in minimal effort, and WFH makes this easier to do. For those of us who want to succeed and move up, then every thing we can do to show we are actively working and succeeding is important. [/quote]

Aren’t you silly. Metrics make it easier to goof off.

My favorite at end of quarter went into my Jira roadmap at 11:30 pm on last day of quarter flipped everything to done. Waited 1-2 hours for system to process and lock end of quarter metrics. That was locked in performance management system. At 3am I went back into Jira and changed status back. My boss would see 78 percent let’s say both days. But HR captured 100 percent.

I think metrics are a scam. People hit the metric and stop working
