The numbers show how much you managed to put shit on a pallet, but it's not like we are all lifting the same shit, neither are we all equally fit and tall. From day one, I've just focused on what could have gone better, build from that. Fuck the numbers.

Why even do that? Who gives a fuck. You're not going to be promoted to any worthwhile position by doing a good job. Just do the minimum to get paid and go home.

there's a principle that says that when a metric becomes a goal, it ceases to be a good measure as people incline to game the numbers

Because on day one it was a short term contract, like a couple of other newly hired guys. Now I got a contract without a end date, yet people still getting pressured by their numbers, even the ones with a contract like mine.

That's a very cool way of looking at it. I guess I owe my distrust of "metrics" to Adam Curtis and his story telling about the lessons Blair had to learn. Shout out to Adam Curtis.
