This is bullshit. There are many people hired with the job title “Software Engineer” who don’t sit and generate code, and for a number of reasons.

You could be on a hybrid team that does projects and support, so you spend 80% of your time attending meetings, working tickets, working with users, and shuffling paper in whatever asinine change management process your company happens to use.

I have worked places where “engineers” ended up having to spend most of their time dicking around in ServiceNow/Remedy/etc. instead of doing their actual jobs. That’s shitty business process design and shitty management, and not a reflection of the employee doing nothing.

Yeah I was just about to say one obvious flaw in his methodology is that people could show up as “high productivity” by adding thousands of lines of worthless comments.

Its not really a “win” for anybody. It has a 60 day timeframe, which not-at-all-coincidentally aligns to expire right as Biden leaves office. Then Israel will have the greenlight to pursue whichever strategy they wish.

WTF is wrong with people.
