Let people work from home at their own whim. Never inquire about their performance. Never document anything related to their performance. Shutter your company in 5 years when you have a bloated payroll, terrible products, and nothing ever gets done on time.
I get that actually managing people and their performance is harshly frowned upon on HN, but it is a very necessary evil. Working in a place where the inmates run the asylum is is not fun either from my experience.
- fjsolwmv 8y agoEmployees aren't inmates. A place where the employees run the company is a strong organization.
- GFischer 8y agoThere have been lots of discussions here on HN, personally I think that an employee-run company still needs leadership. And companies can be good for employees without needing to be employee-run. See for example Valve, there's been a lot written about it, not all of it good: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jul/30/no-bosses-managers-flat-hierachy-workplace-tech-hollywood https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jul/30/no-bos... https://www.pcgamer.com/ex-valve-employee-describes-ruthless-industry-politics/ https://www.pcgamer.com/ex-valve-employee-describes-ruthless... Politics will ALWAYS exist at a workplace.
