To make a bad place to work you need two things:
1. Lot's of processes, measurements and so on that are:
2. Based on flawed thinking.
That is it! It is a common recipe. Make an OKR about something that doesn't make a good OKR, and you have 3 months of guaranteed misery as people figure out how they get what needs to be done, while keeping the number happy. Another example is implementing some process like "Agile" and then finding the stream of work you want to complete has to be paused for 4 days because "sprints", so you context switch to something else because "shift left".
- deelly 4y ago> Based on flawed thinking. Please define "flawed".
- quickthrower2 4y agoThe flawed thinking, I can sum up as a worldview, something like this. "Unlike all other businesses in the world, we have solved the people management and measurement problem with our perfect system that organizes and scores your work, and the system is a mantra, to be repeated by all employees, and they must follow it, and we won't listen to anything to the contrary even from people highly experienced in their field"
- deelly 4y agoSo, in simple words, when business decided that he knows better then employees how employees should work, how measure employees work, and don't want to listen to any complains, and force this view to employees? To some degree you just defined absolutely any business on the planet. Upd: wtf with random downvotes, I`m feeling like I`m on a reddit.
