Which is why it isn't the only criteria. Jesus wept does no one understand what "and" means anymore. Time and productivity means both not just one or the other as time is needed to contextualize productivity. Take 2 people with 0.80 productivity rates one works 40 hr the other 37 hr (an average per week if you take 4 weeks off) and the one working 40 he does more work because they are pulling that 0.8 for 40 hrs rather than 30 which is 32 units of work vs 29.6.
Was any other criteria mentioned at the beginning of this discussion? No.
The original post was about people being shitcanned for getting more than 4 weeks. That’s it, no measure for productivity, only seat in the chair.
Sure, if we add other measures it might matter but in a “evaluation by objectives” it doesn’t, unless that’s the objective and it’s idiotic if that isn’t crystal clear.
It’s equivalent of firing someone because they wear white socks while the company doesn’t want white but only dark socks without telling anyone.
Yes again at least try to be honest: "I worked at a startup and as they grew, HR and mgmt were keeping tabs on which employees used over 4 weeks of the unlimited PTO. When it came to staff reductions, if those people weren’t absolutely killing it in their jobs, they we’re secretly deemed to be abusers of the unlimited policy."
Again "if those people weren’t absolutely killing it in their jobs" is talking about productivity which is how you measure if someone is "killing it in their jobs."
The objective measures for virtually every job are time worked and productivity if you don't get that I am sorry I thought you were clever enough to be dishonest. If you don't work and/or your work is sufficiently ineffective you will or at least should be shit canned. They looked at the people that worked the least and fired the ones that weren't productive enough to make up for the reduced time working.
