    FTE #1: I don't think you can adequately assess my team's performance without talking to us directly.

    FTE #2: Comparing your performance against industry benchmarks is an entirely valid approach.

    FTE #1: But that won't give you a true understanding of how hard we're working.

    FTE #2: As soon as that matters I promise to give you a call.

    Caption: Performance is about output, not input.
