Agree in 1st and 2nd “meanwhile”. On the metrics thing though I have the opposite experience - mild distraction at best, total disaster and productivity killer at worst. Most orgs couldn’t even implement metrics fully (or at all) because in reality it is always much more work than they usually anticipate. Instead they larp as google and waste your god damn time.

Having said that i do think that there are a bunch of senior folks who think they are Tim but meanwhile they’re just hiding their laziness/incompetence by getting involved in other people’s shit
