That hits too close to home. Except for us it's all about OKRs. You get one or two tasks for the quarter, and anything that isn't working towards that be damned. Which basically translates to launch your [AI] feature and fix nothing.
As soon as that happened support of existing services crumbles. Innovation tanks because risk means you might miss the target. It means the best engineers no longer mentor or build team based expertise. It means everyone becomes solos to hit their number or target and everything else falls away.
I'm sympathetic toward the want to measure employee quality but by doing that you tend to only punish the underperforming engineers, regardless of reasons, rather than rewarding the best engineers or an increase in quality of engineering. It creates hostility when one person's metric may be impacted by another person or org within the company. It sabotages everything the powers that be claim to care about.
