I am a lead consultant and depending on the size of the project, I do have a team of less senior consultants who are dotted line reports. If I ever found one of my reports who missed deadlines because they refused to do something as simple as launch Claude (with our $5000 a month allowance a piece) and ask it to debug an issue, yes I would write them up.

There is a direct easy to measure line about the revenue that anyone below me makes the company. My revenue per hour isn’t as exact since I support pre-sales and follow on work.
