I must have a low productivity score. Half the time, I’m staring off into space.

Then I type stuff furiously. Verify it. Then publish it. Problem solved. Correctly too.

But still a poor “Productivity Score”. No bonus this year.




It's really sad. We already have an incentive to game other people's perceptions to get an easy promotion but this takes it to a whole new level, and seems to reward the trickster political over the people trying to just make an impact.

My expectation is that it's going to damage the productivity of the most productive but slightly increase productivity of the laziest quartile who should've be fired anyway. The biggest impact will be to drive engagement with Microsoft products which was the real endgame.
