>The majority of these men believe that the fundamental interests of employees and employers are necessarily antagonistic Taylor's ideas were quite good in the context of labor practices at the time. People were getting paid a buck a day to come work at the factory, and companies employed speed bosses to walk the floor and yell at employees to hurry up. Speed bosses and management got production bonuses, workers got a buck regardless of productivity. Taylor and Gantt instead had companies give bonuses to both staff and management for extra output, which resulted in higher productivity. For history buffs here is a picture of an original "Gantt chart" where he is comparing workers folding textiles after putting in the Scientific Management system. More black in the chart is an indication of workers earning the bonus more often. https://iism.org/material-player/software-management-essentials-intro-management-systems?slideNumber=19 https://iism.org/material-player/software-management-essenti...
