Individual and team productivity metrics will likely lead to worse outcomes due to Braess's paradox. Some developers who may seem unproductive may be a team's cornerstone, and rockstar programmers may actually be causing a net slowdown of the team. If we combine this with bullshit jobs, it may surprisingly cancel out by getting rockstar developers out of the way by promoting them to management.
So happy I don't have to deal with any of this crap anymore. Good luck to you all who're still grinding while those that don't make your grind even harder.

I found out that the most productive developer was the guy they fired first, long ago. Then they fired me, luckily.
