Not that I read in that string of tweets. The closest I saw was the assertion that managers used Maslow's hierarchy as a way to justify increasing morale without pay raises.
Which doesn't seem like it relates to the shape of the diagram (or any other representation of the hierarchy) at all.
- mvkel 5y agoAre the two mutually exclusive? If managers are doing things higher on the hierarchy but employees want higher wages, that just means they're further down the hierarchy and that need hasn't yet been fulfilled.
- whatshisface 5y agoIt has more to do with the idea that authorities will decide what they want to do then recruit words from anywhere they can find to justify it, than it has to do with what those words say. (See also: Crusaders using Jesus as a rallying symbol for mass killings of civilians, 1920s American eugenicists using the science of heredity to justify racism followed by 1930s Nazis who developed on the theme, 1980s Regan administration selectively using basic economic ideas to dismantle public welfare, while staying silent about corporate welfare.)
- blowski 5y agoIs that behaviour limited to authorities? Teenagers frequently do the same thing.
- whatshisface 5y agoIt is limited to authorities in the history books because by definition when non-authorities do it, it doesn't go very far. :-) No matter how much a medieval peasant hates the Franks, nobody will ever know.
