And yet I experience it so often. That or “effort points” as the metric being used to determine who all stars are.
Either as a metric just encourages gaming of the system:
Why write one line when I can write the same thing in 20?
Why take this one effort point task I think will take three when I can just skip it and grab these one effort points I think will take 20 minutes?
I’ve been on teams that on the surface didn’t have these metrics matter, but the top effort points achiever got bonuses on the DL.

What did you do?? You refacted the code and now it's better organized but you overall got *rid* of lines? I'll set up a PMD meeting to help you out of this problem, but fair to say don't expect a raise or a bonus this year.
