Why software engineers are unbothered by their organization's revenue milestones

Why software engineers are unbothered by their organization's revenue milestones

In many organizations news about surpassing the previous year's record in terms of sales, profit or revenue is great news especially when you still have a couple months in hand, staff can heave a sigh of relieve and maintain cruising altitude (performance-wise) till the end of the year, administrative, sales and other departments benefit from this information as it puts them at ease.

IT or the tech team are indifferent to this information as our work must go on regardless, we are either building things or maintaining huge tech infrastructures. Don't get me wrong, we love wins, however most corporate wins don't reduce the burden on software engineers to deliver. The metrics used to quantify the impact of software engineers is very different from other departments in an organization as such the show must go on.
