Metric
No, I don't mean the system used across the Channel. I mean metric as used by HR managers and other assorted high-level corporate weasels. An actual example from my workplace this week:
``I don't know if this is premature, but we'd really like to obtain a productivity metric based on the Newsgate system implementation.''

In English:
``Has the new computer system made it possible for the poor fuckers who work here to shovel shit twice as quickly?''

Yes.
Half as much per shovel, but at twice the previous rate.
