There's no point in debating the meaning of productivity unless someone claims it's neutral or up. If they're willing to make that claim then it might be worth that debate. Otherwise, it's a pointless side track.
- wpietri 4y agoI disagree that it it is pointless. But clearly asking you to address it is, so I'll tap out here.
- notfromhere 4y agoIf you're using productivity to justify firing people, but then you proceed to avoid discussing how is calculated, you can't use it as a justification. There's no clear way to measure employee productivity in a white collar job. So claiming "productivity is down" with no objective evidence, is just groupthink.
- Apocryphon 4y agoOkay, I’ll stand in for the previous commenters. I will argue it went up, simply because the insane stock market valuations, which led these companies to overhire because clearly business demand was up as well, no? Then it is up to you to prove these companies wrong for believing their productivity to be up.
