You cannot make a company sustainable in anyway if you measure the progress "per report closed" as your main indicator, that is like measuring software progress by Lines of code...
You are right, but it happens. And yes, my progress as programmer was measured in terms of "this should be working months ago", said by somebody that is not a programmer, even close to, nor can evaluate the amount of work a certain programming job really involves (try to maintain deliberately obfuscated code by a previous gruntled programmer...). I'm sure many have been in similar situations. In the end, it is not sustainable. Till that end, they subsist... causing old kind of problems and grief. So... I can't help much if I evaluate others by my own experience. Maybe not fair, but unavoidable :-) Meaning that I have suffered the "average time per report closed" as a "normal" evaluation method, so I'm biassed to think everybody does the same. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
