Metrics are essential to running a successful business. And we know that. But if bosses prioritize a single number over all others, they will leave out a lot of priorities. Ones that are vital to the organization too.
A few days ago, Reddt user InfinitiumVortex submitted a story to the ‘Pro Revenge’ community that shows exactly that.
In it, InfinitiumVortex explains how his employers, after running a hectic reorganization, started to care more and more about the size of the contracts they were pulling in rather than how well they could deliver.
The employee tried to warn the higher-ups of the potential risks, but his concerns were silenced by the sales department, caring only about their bonuses.
Needless to say, it was only a matter of time before this short-sighted approach brought serious and very expensive consequences.
Luckily, InfinitiumVortex, sensing the coming doomsday, prepared for what was about to happen and avoided being turned into a scapegoat. No matter how hard everyone attacked, he still managed to come out on top.
