It requires a skilled human to assess that. As a programmer, if I were overseeing others, I could very well evaluate how much others do and how difficult it is. An unskilled (random diploma in some nonsense bullshit) manager can't. Idiots would count things like characters typed per hour, amount of uploads (commits) and other things.
This incentivizes people to play a game in order to win. As a programmer, you can do this: You have a function which you split up, and you copy-paste it into 5 versions, each with tiny alterations. You can extract interfaces out of classes needlessly, which adds a lot of lines of code. You can also just produce sloppy code or LLM generated code.
You can become a champion in the company and spend most of your time in playing the game instead of doing quality work.
And you are right, it's a management/leadership problem. It's rotten to the core, and most of it is all about maintaining things and doing essentially nothing. That's why they want to hire pajeet slaves, because they add +1 virtue point and are good at doing nothing.

You cannot imagine how bad things can get anywhere, if leadership is bad. Those who get rewarded the most are obedient lackeys, and it goes down from the top, affecting the entire company's processes. Government is just naturally the worst, but companies can get close to it and still survive undeservedly. It's actually not *just* about regulations. We are talking about "intellectuals" who are arrogant idiots - the type of people I despise the most.
