Disneyland's laundry used "gamification" as an "electronic whip," leading to worker stress and injuries

Yeah my work has a thing like this. I have not participated, don’t care if I’m missing out on “rewards” because they’re not worth the effort. Would leave my job if it ever impacted my performance. Definitely don’t want my workplace interfering in my health also because I need to keep things a certain way to manage my illness. Last time we had one of those walking competitions I downloaded the app and never opened it getting a score of 0. I hope lots of other people did too. If it flat doesn’t work for them… they’ll give up eventually. Basically I just try to waste their time and resources as much as possible for null or negative effect. Let them let the metrics start to talk IMO. I like self directed achievements like that… don’t care how it compares to others if I’m satisfied with what I’ve done after all.
