The person you are responded to said it's a sign of dysfunctional org, not that it by itself make an org dysfunctional. There is a huge difference.


>The person you are responded to said it's a sign of dysfunctional org

He said it was his go to example of dysfunction.


I did not. Read more carefully. It’s “totally” a sign but it’s neither the worst nor the only one.

> Have you seen actually dysfunctional organization?

I have. I quit because of it. Imposed metrics and untold amounts of time gaming them to avoid losing one’s job was just one part of it. Most of the ones you mentioned in your first reply were also there.


Ah GP did ya, fair enough. I assume a bit of hyperbole but sure. I would infer that there is a lot more going on than just some guy worried about if some guy is worried about individual teams' metrics getting messed up but I don't know the whole story.
