[quote=Anonymous]Everyone wants metrics. But, not every job can be measured (in the short term) by metrics. Sales, sure. But, R & D, over one year, it might be hard to quantify the value in 1 year. As an example, about 10 years ago, I came up with an idea that revolutionized something (details do not matter). Before we could market the idea, we had to demonstrate it worked. That took two years. Metric wise, those two years were a waste of money for the company: my billable hours dropped from 1800/yr to about 1100/yr. I had no new contracts to support it (yet). My manager had my back, and protected me from layoff for the low billable hours. Two years later, we parlayed that idea -- and about 1500 hours (or 100K in company cost) into a 15 million dollar per year revenue stream that has been going on 8 years. [/quote]
