I really think their cartoon illustrated the point of the article quite well. For those visually impaired or who didn't read the article it was a two panel saying:
---
Boss: John, your commit frequency dropped 25% last week. Are you quiet quitting?
John: Sorry boss, I was on sick leave. I'll be more active.
---
Before you cry "this is a contrived example!" Look at what Amazon just did. They sent out an email threatening folks who weren't in the office 3 times a week in the previous two weeks. I did not take into account sick leave, vacation, FMLA, corporate travel, anything.
You take a vacation? You and your manager got a threatening email about your KPI you're not meeting.
- datadrivenangel 3y agoI know multiple people who have worked at companies where KPIs were not adjusted for paid time off... 2 week vacation means your numbers are going to tank, which will reduce bonuses and opportunities for promotion.
- malfist 3y agoI had a friend that worked at deloitte and that's exactly how they managed it. You had to bill so many hours a month and if you took time off, you had to make it up when you got back (or before you left). He was absolutely miserable there.
