I’m now 25 years into my IT career and the older I get the more I understand those former co-workers who retired and just wanted to fuck off, go fishing, and never look at another computer.
I agree honestly never had a problem with metrics myself but now that I have reports and a lot of them can’t get their shit together it makes it more frustrating to see every little thing they’re fucking up. It’d be so much easier if it was just a matter of “did we get everything done?” at the end of the day.
Mostly I’m just venting. Maybe I should just take their computers away…

As an engineer seeing a drafting table behind him fills me with dread.
Really? As a fellow keyboard monkey it scares the shit out of me!
A simpler time where every god damn thing wasn’t computerized and generating metrics to track every aspect of your life.
Persoanlly i’ll take being tracked over not having computers. But each to their own.

It certainly makes your life a lot easier if the employees don’t have any computers!
I don’t get it, what they were doing at their desks then? Like, pratically?
