Moral numbers

Nowadays that economy struggles, managers and governors have to watch every detail in their data. Everything seems to be number-driven. My question is if this "numberocracy" has a limit. Is there any context out of which one can't use numbers and indexes?
For example, it would be useful for our economy to kill pensioners. Of course, noone would dare such a thing. But, where is that limit when we stop deciding upon numbers and we take into consideration other factors?

Social loafing and division of labour

I can’t understand people. They say they don’t want to be treated like sheep, but they don’t do the work of the shepherd as well. They waste their time hanging around. Who gave them the right to waste their time and relax?

Social loafing.  We leave important things to be done by others. So, give me a single reason, why the one who did what it had to be done, according to his opinion of course, not to take advantage of his authority.

Finally, I tend to believe that the division of labour encourages social loafing. Although productivity is increased, our sense of responsibility is reduced. Thus, we become socially inactive, always waiting for someone else to take responsibility of a situation.
