Nice to see that my job is listed as number 3 but as my boss "Darth Carter" would say, "Where are the F%^&ing metrics ??"

"Nice to see that my job is listed as number 3 but as my boss 'Darth Carter' would say, 'Where are the F%^&ing metrics ??'"

I'm an aerospace engineer (just missed the top 50), and anytime anyone mentions "metrics" in my presence, I sweetly inquire, "How was it that we were able to put men on the Moon without metrics?"

Busywork for bean-counters.

We had metrics during the Apollo days. They were called "cost" and "schedule". They were--and remain--the only "metrics" that matter.
