Businesses that use these kinds of metrics to evaluate performance don’t have a clue how they produce value for the client (because that’s the only performance metric that matters) or are so far removed from it to the point of irrelevance and are doomed to fail or doomed to lose high performing employees.

its probable (imo)

the supposed employee performance metrics is only the lure.

the main prize for m$ is to associate use of m$ products WITH employee performance.

ie. take 20x longer to do something because you had to use a m$ product, rather than do it quickly and easily in some FOSS software.

that’s a win for m$ and everyone else loses, employee/employer/foss etc
