I agree, performance-led cultures can lead to overwork, but non-performance-led cultures can do the same. Let's just say I've worked in companies where the level of bureaucracy and inefficiency has been sizeable... copious amounts of meetings, work that could easily been handled automatically been done manually, etc... I didn't say anything because I didn't want anyone to lose their job, the company was still stable enough to support the people they employed, and whilst I don't regret that decision, there's no doubt it added to people being overworked.
- lordnacho 11y agoThis is true as well. In something like a government bureaucracy things need to be done in a specific way so that nobody thinks anyone is being favoured, there's no perception of corruption, and everyone who encounters the system gets an equal treatment. In practice it means a lot of procedures that don't seem to make any sense and a lot of work complying with those procedures. Quite stressful for the people doing it actually.
