This is the joy of working for a large company. I was there a number of years ago. I just started ignoring people and doing what I think is right. No one appeared to notice. I suspect this was because everyone was chasing useless metrics or doesn’t want to challenge the timesheet in case the one apparent source of truth is discovered to be universe crushingly fallible.

I banked the experience and learnings and moved to a company which wasn’t in the fatal decline stage of development.
