Statistics

Someone has asked me a question about statistics, or metrics, for employee evaluations. It is an interesting question. This is my answer:

Stats are useless anyway. Keep your own. Estimate about 10 TCAs (or whatever your work unit is called)finished up every day, so that gives you 50 per week. Make sure you drop that number in every conversation with a supervisor. Actually, 47.5 is more believable. Make a chart with totally incomprehensible data on it. That’s always convincing.

You know 53, I mean, 59% of all stats are made up on the spot.
