@drewpickard@mastodon.social yeah the “small” one was because they suddenly instituted minimum PR count numbers *during calibration* and increased the required percentage of “below meets” to be like, 15%% instead of 7%, and then fired everyone in below because they were a “low performer”. So we all thought we were done & safe for a bit, but nope.

@ksylor@front-end.social @drewpickard@mastodon.social omg! simple-minded metrics suuuuuck. I got dinged once at a gig years ago because my PR count was “low”, without even considering that maybe I didn’t need to follow every feature up with 3–5 bug fix PRs because I actually created quality stuff the first time around…?

@ksylor@front-end.social @drewpickard@mastodon.social has this just been happening everywhere? we also had minimum PR count quotas instituted a few weeks ago in the middle of reviews and basically everyone was downgraded because of it...
