Yes and no. Am I surprised that a human resource extracting paperclip factory would stive to optimize every last minute of the employee's time? No I am not. Do humans need rest and rewards, to feel special, loved, significant, and appreciated, and do they work better for longer periods of time when they are getting all that, and is it a supprising waste of long term value for short term gain? Yes!
- watwut 5y agoYes humans need rest. Which has nothing to do with situation in which estimates turn out too low and thus estimated work is done faster. I don't see how it should imply that employee don't have to do anything rest of the week. Likewise, if estimation is too small at the beginning I don't pull 80 hours long week nor I consider it effective. Had the complain was about overall lack of rest or overwork, that would be understandable. But it is not about that. It is about expectation that original estimate is measure of how much you should do and if the task turned out faster, you can watch movies rest of the week.
