I suspect they're using sloc or pr counts behind the scenes. I've done everything you're recommending. CEO doesn't care about any of that. Only metric they care about is money made and code shipped. They do say they care about communication and apparently track it but I havnt seen it reflected in comp reviews so my conclusion is code shipped is the only metric. We have sloc and pr tracker stat pages so Im making a guess they are using sloc.

Yowza. In that case… time to look elsewhere. I can tell you many companies do not do this sort of thing.

I am. Only issue is that it isn't the worst place I've worked and it's hard to find better than what I have where I'm at.
