They're easy, with no real way to measure success.

If you work in a factory or in a trade, it's a simple matter to quantify your performance against your peers: how many widgets did you produce, how many service calls did you complete? What is your defect rate and how many customers called again?

Now think of a single performance metric for a guidance counselor or HR person? I can't. Teachers have graduation rates, but look at how they've dumbed down the curriculum and ended standardized testing to keep those artificially high.

Even more nebulous Blue collar work like custom or artisanal works can I have performance metrics, unlike these busywork jobs the women are doing.

For example I work for a high-end kitchen design and appliance company and hand make many items.

Where my metrics come in, given each project has its own bid, is how much I can be trusted to work in excellence and not have my work eye-fucked by quality control. My shit never needs to be sent back to me to be finished again. Or, how often a repair is needed. Shitty welders don't last long at my job.
