Metrics are just standards of measurement. In our case, because we are a
help desk, the metrics tend to be things like the number of calls that
come in, the length of the calls, how quickly the issue gets resolved,
how fast the calls get answers, etc. My team is the advanced team so we
have slightly different things we are measured on. Basically, we are
measured on how many problems we solve per day. We are supposed to solve
8. I am about in the middle of my team but I am the highest of those who
arent cheating by cherry picking easy cases and I have been solving an
average of 3.7 cases per day. But even among the cheaters, no one is
getting better than 6 cases per day.

They use the metrics to compare to a service level agreement to prove their
skills with excel pie charts while drinking bottled water.  Its a corporate
thing.  Did you get my memo about the TPS reports?

"Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side
door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for
an hour."

"Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that
for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I
probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. "

Just to skip ahead, you may want to explain all that to keesan, who I'm sure
doesn't get it. Nice quotes, though!

Those are quotes from the movie "Office Space"

Watching "Office Space" is like reading "Dilbert". The more you read 
(or watch), the less humorous it becomes because you begin to realize 
there is a lot of truth in it.
