How is spitballing a presentation cheating? It's the equivalent of taking a test without studying, not presenting somebody else's work as your own.

- scarface74 3y agoIf the outcome is successful with less effort how is that bad? I was just in a joint presentation with a new grad. We both had our parts. They spent hours preparing their parts of a technical demonstration. I just walked through my part of the demo and had an “open discussion”. They put 4x more effort to achieve what I would say was a 20% better result. That’s not meant to be an insult to them, I have much more experience.

- awesomeMilou 3y agoWhen has "having been there" ever been a measure for reward? In college no one gave a shit if you came to lectures, all that mattered was the exam at the end of the semester. If you learn better with books: great! I'm suprised that so many companies are unable to measure the performance of their employees in an effective manner. This entire discussion comes down to whether management actually wants to own the product and subsequently the product development lifecycle and is then also willing to investigate potential friction, or, as is much more often the case, doesn't really care and just wants to be told what they want to hear. You prioritize a metric (keep management happy) over actualy results. If I can improve that metric by improvising, how am I a cheater?

At some point the whole enterprise is destructive and should be shut down. The point of presentation is usably not to put up great presentation, but to get certain points across. If you successfully do that with quickly thrown presentation, then its waste of time spending more on it.
