I'm a CTO and I've disabled MyAnalytics and I'll disable this as well. We have power and we can do better. Let's create better companies and fight back with actions, not words.

I receive the MyAnalytics emails where I work, and this sounded like it was based on the same thing as categories seem similar. Disabling is good, as they really have no value, and are just another distraction to dispose of in email.

Do you use other metrics instead?
My take on this is without metrics it's all subjective which is in many ways worse. Everyone, including your team managers have biases. Do they make decisions based on feelings rather than data?

Yes. We have metrics that are targeted towards business results.

Maybe they would prefer KPIs like "increase sales", "average issue resolution time goes down" instead of fluff like "more @mentions used in chat to increase staff engagement".
This data is a wet dream for middle managers locked out of creating actual value and doomed to micro-manage.
