I'm now 25 years into my IT career and the older I get the more I understand those former co-workers who retired and just wanted to fuck off, go fishing, and never look at another computer.
I agree honestly never had a problem with metrics myself but now that I have reports and a lot of them can't get their shit together it makes it more frustrating to see every little thing they're fucking up. It'd be so much easier if it was just a matter of "did we get everything done?" at the end of the day.
Mostly I'm just venting. Maybe I should just take their computers away...
