Well there's this thing called Jira which tracks all the value being contributed to the product.



If everything you contribute to the product is tracked in Jira, you should consider your career trajectory. Managers are humans. They rely on a synthesis of data and social cues to form an opinion about how much to invest in your growth.

As automation becomes more common, forming relationships with colleagues and managers will become more important. As money becomes more expensive, someone, somewhere will be looking at a spreadsheet drawing a red line for who to cut. That decision won’t be made using just # of JIRA tickets closed.


"forming relationships with colleagues and managers will become more important." Sounds like your think getting ahead is a just a bunch of ass kissing. At least in software companies, almost everything of value is stored, code, project plans, goals, product requirements, software designs, all the scrums ceremony stuff. If manager A is great at communicating with her colleagues and managers but missing their commitments, then they are out. If the senior engineers are producing crappy designs, then they will be out. If the regular engineers velocity is really low, they are out. I don't see how being in an office vs WFH makes any difference. Please be more specific.
