Managers in facebook lie about lines of code thing ?

I think that my manager is very much biased towards software engineers who write loads of lines of code but says we don't count it
But when doing psc says the amount of code written is less and tells stories of other developers writing tens of thousands lines
What the fuck is wrong with managers here ? Sometimes they say lines of code doesn't matter and make you write so many quips and lead team and at psc time start looking at lines of code
Not that my amount of code is less but writing quips posts and helping team also takes time, and I unlike managers who leave office at 6 don't have plenty of that

Underachievers will just write a bunch of new useless java and have huge LoC.
On its own LoC is meaningless beyond maybe a smoke test or warning sign for other real issues.
Imo if a manager brings LoC up to their direct reports they're failing at their job.
