Why does nobody talk about how bad the new Shimano brake pad compound is?

Had a customer come in last week after their new pads wore down to the metal in under 300 miles. I swapped them for a different brand and the bite is way better. Anyone else seeing this on recent builds?

Wait, they wore down in under 300 miles?

Yeah, that was my friend's pair. He got a bad batch, the tread was separating. Most people get way more miles out of them.

Honestly, taylor12 is right about bad batches. Just call the company, they'll usually send a new pair no questions asked.
