Surely no data is better than bad data? What's the point of a metric that doesn't measure anything tied to the objective reality of what it is that you're measuring?

All I see tools like this doing is getting people to manipulate the metrics, while at the same time producing enormous amounts of worker alienation. I'd even speculate the demoralising effects of workplace surveillance schemes undermine the alleged productivity benefits.

I see more of people using data and bad metrics to justify whatever they want to push rather than genuinely trying to improve conditions.

I don't have any data to prove this :)
