At the last place I worked it was common to wait one to two weeks for a PR review. I was the only developer who would do a review within the same day that someone requested it; as a result everyone came to me when they needed a review to actually get done.

When performance reviews came around I was criticized for not getting enough story points merged (because I couldn't get them reviewed) and the fact that I was single handedly responsible for reviewing almost all of the PRs was not deemed to be a valuable contribution to the team.

This is what happens when an organization has no idea what matters or how to measure productivity. You did well to leave.

And I bet you learned to stop doing reviews so quickly.

Your coworkers may have already figured out where the disincentives were.

Jesus. Sorry to hear it dude, FWIW I’d love to have someone like that on my team. Hope your current place is better!
