The whole having to be productive in an otherwise anti-productivity environment seems like some sort of weird hazing ritual.
Though I still think that regardless what job one is doing (knowledge work or factory), that subconsciously the company wants predictability. So maybe putting people in an environment where it is anti-productive puts people of all skills at the same basic predictable level?
- p4wnc6 11y agoThat is a good point. I had never considered that they would actually Harrison Bergeron their own people, but it's entirely plausible. If they want predictability more than output, it would make sense, and then they extract value mostly just from your credential and your organizational fealty.
