That’s a bit extreme. I would ask them to explain why they chose the KPIs, because that’s where you’ll get the bullshitters to break down very obviously.

Half of your post was reasonable.

The second half.

We have "Inner Source" as a kpi now. Meaning we constantly ask projects where their code is, how others can use it and where an internal community can develop. I like this kpi.

What about “whether you're doing the work”, or “whether your team benefits from you being in it”?

So you only work for companies that don't do any kind of performance reviews or promotions?

I want to work for companies where the management knows that performance reviews and most other HR things are a bullshit formality. I should be continually getting feedback from a proper human relationship from my boss. If I am letting them down I want to know right away, not next quarter.

Most of these processes are designed to compensate for managers who don't know what the hell they're doing and shouldn't be in charge of anyone.

I've worked at companies that had promotions/reviews and no official KPI.

Why?

Ill have to start doing this too.
