  • Well, that explains why corporate is so intent on them. They’re creating the perfect little KPI-driven stooge.

    Heck, now I’d like to see a study on KPIs (as a concept) as a reality distortion lens. It would seem like they have inadvertantly created a way to calculate a reality alignment index for a given KPI. Is it reasonable to conclude that using KPIs to measure performance is, in itself, unethical behavior?

    To go a bit further: Is there a correlation between the number of KPIs and the likelihood of creating scenarios in which the only desirable outcome lies outside reality? That is, how many KPIs does it take to get sufficient competition between priorities that it effectively requires hallucinating a solution to achieve a sufficiently aligned result?

    My favorite part about that pencil grip is that no one who tries to catalog the ways you can hold a pencil seems to understand it.

    I used this one in the 3rd grade or so as a way to weird out my teacher who was a pencil stickler and would correct our grip constantly. And to give my poor middle finger callous a break during all the standardized tests.
