I used to work at Taco Bell and the manager that hired me got fired for scheduling one "extra" person a shift. Every other metric was great, of course.

It's astounding that modern management is all just metrics. Here are your target numbers, we don't know how you will hit them and it's easier for us if we don't know; if you can't hit your targets we will fire you for underperforming and will do the same until we hire our divine sociopath that will achieve our metrics by any means necessary.
