Probably because the measures being used were more accurate and valid for the results being sought.

Many companies and entities that were performing fine 20+ years ago have gone through periods of chaos and struggle because some senior exec/manager read a book about performance monitoring or went to a course and implemented a system that didn't work for the company/entity.
You can bet they still got their bonuses, the whole connection between reward of the individual - only when the company made enough profit - thing went for a loop under the commies.

It has fsck all to do with commies, and everything to do with stupid management decisions and choosing some daft "metrics" that make things look good on paper but a right royal cockup operationally.

Your problem is that you are so stuck in your ways of thinking of everything along racial lines of black and white, if only there was a way to wean you off that mentality, until then any attempt at having a civil conversation with you is a wasted effort.

Strong language spoiler..

Actually, there is a very easy and foolproof way to wean me off and make me stop, just prove me wrong.. but you can't, can you?

What happened to the rest of the incoherent rant?
I realized I was diverging from the thread topic so decided to stick to the one subject.

See, I can be quite considerate towards custodians of public assets, if the consideration is reciprocated.
