Honestly, I wonder how many people apply these articles literally and make the employee feel even more uncomfortable because clearly, the manager doesn't give shit about them. He is just following the article and if you tell them the truth, they are gonna fire you or put you on some performance hook
- itronitron 7y agoWell, at least 16M fewer people can apply the ideas in the article this month than last month. The timing of the article seems a little off.
- notatechie 7y agoi agree
- mettamage 7y agoI also feel like that companies that do genuinely care about you will make an effort to make the topic of motivation to both you (the employee) and them (the manager) discussable. I wouldn't be surprised if top notch companies held both people accountable to be their best selfs as much as they possibly can, and if that doesn't always jive with work, then that's fine. This has some limit of course, but I think that such a limit will take a while to get there when you are in a good team that fits.
- notatechie 7y agoI think these articles will only make a difference to managers who probably are looking for ideas. these are not the ultimate ideas, but some value can be taken from here. I mean, I might js share it with my manager. My 1-on-1 with him has been great for the last 2 months since work from home started. And if he would for once check on my status, ask me how my days are going, how am I coping up etc, I would feel good. I think motivation not tangible, it is really an emotion. So if I feel motivated I would do better.I found this good because I being an employee can maybe have some take-aways, for my own self.
