I just saw somebody, a peer, put their h-index in their CV. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit disturbed — "are they actually OK?"-level disturbed. Wow... 
I don't think that many replies agree with me. Some replies, quite a few, seem to think it's a "OK fair enough" requirement.

Some do, some don’t. Still... why is this bad? (Proper scientists would also recognize measurement error issue: google scholar citations != scopus != research gate that probably nobody takes seriously.)

"Bad" is a weird word to use here.

I do think it's weird to have that on a voluntary CV. I only include it as a sentence in coverletters as part of 'essential' hiring criteria. Any empiricists worth their salt knows that convoluted metrics like this don't reflect the individual.
