> Its ridiculously dumb. I've heard those numbers matter less as you gain tenure and seniority. But for the new grads and lower level engineers, all the savvy ones were gaming these metrics.

The company care more about weeding out the really bad junior engineers than it does about rewarding the good ones.

Honestly I don't have a big issue with that because I've seen what happens when bad people stick around. It's never fun for the good people, though.
