Every time I get an email from Microsoft Viva telling me about my productivity last week, I can't help but feel that's the direction we're heading.
'scuse me I need to go wash my mouth with soap. I just gamed the metrics that would be produced with this and I feel dirty.
In my 40+ year career I've never met a manager who would use such a vague 'metric' - even if it did exist - to choose between two hires.
Which tracks real-time talk time among everyone, but also a lot of other statistics, analytics, and transcripts.
Works on meet, teams, zoom and webex. It just joins the meetings as an invitee (will automatically join any integrated calendars). So setup is nearly friction less.
Actual objective is to reduce meetings when possible and improve meetings where people must attend.
The thing is it's usually a good one that give more contributions to make their progress / workflow smoother, not the other way around.
Should be a standard feature imho.
