How I ended high turnover with our filipino workers
- willvarfar 15y agoI don't know if it really was 'our' pg who commented on the blog, but I'm 100% with them
- rdl 15y agoI'd rather do the work myself, or at least pay someone a decent wage and treat them like a person. There are a couple of worthwhile hints in here about human psychology (breaking up tasks into subgoals, and focusing on one at a time), but they seem accidental. This is why I work in technology and not in a low-value-add service industry.
- bane 15y agoThis is not good. Instead of treating people like disposable machines, just get machines to do the work of machines. That's precisely why we've spent time building tools like eggtweeter and momentomail, which perfectly supports one of the things he's paying people (and treating them poorly) to do -- handle twitter (and emailing people on a schedule) updates for you.
