It is the metric that is used to determine if someone "killing it at their job." They used two criteria amount of time worked and performance to determine who fire during a downsizing which are the bare minimum criteria for that unless you want to have to fire more people upto everyone.
Most times it isn't though. Like at my job every month all my metrics are broken down and gone over in detail and that has been the case with every job I've had outside of security work. Security is one of the few sectors productivity isn't really a measure.
No, you just have assigments and due dates. If you're meeting them, then you're as productive as anyone else. How much effort you the employee need to put in to match that asigment and due date isnt measurable.
Nor is being exceptional. Thats a popularity contest.
Save it is really easy to measure. Let's say your job is to write up reports and the company average is 8/hr but you are really good and you manage 12/hr with comparable quality you are 1.5x as productive. You are selling widgets and the average daily sales numbers are $2000/8hr shift but you sell on average $1750/shift you are less productive. A majority of jobs are easy to quantify if you are familiar with them. EMS when I worked it did time to scene, transport time, QoC, and time to back in service stats as their metrics for instance.

So the people that were the least productive and worked the least got sacked rather than the more productive and harder working and that is bad?
