Its time for another round of “My Idiot Manager!”

Today’s adventure? METRICS!

So he wants to figure out how many machines we scan in a given task, then figure out how many we don’t have access to, based on a pool of 4 different failed access codes.

Seems simple enough, so how does he want it implemented? He just wants us to add up numbers for 4 those failed access codes to give us the number of failed machines.

Now, I’m sure some of you have already noticed the fundamental flaw with that logic.

A single machine can technically fail access 4 times based on the fail codes.

Which is why, using his methodology on a test scan of 3000 machines, we had 5272 machines which failed access.

I’m not even bothering to bring this up to him. I told the technical lead I’m just plugging in the numbers as I was instructed because its not worth the effort or the headaches trying to correct this moron.
