Can you expand what you mean by "degenerating into Stakhanovism"? I read your Wikipedia article, and I also read this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakha

I have a vague understanding of what the movement was, but I'm unsure how you are relating it back here.
Are the degenerated attributes related to the "puffery" and "theatre".
- avidiax 3y agoThe productivity targets are always increasing, but real productivity obviously can't. That creates a pressure to meet the goals through fraud. Stakhanovite is the most benign fraud (pooling productivity). There was a Microsoft engineer that outsourced his job to several engineers in India. I bet he seemed very productive. There are less benign frauds. Boeing and their suppliers let quality slip. Wells Fargo met account opening goals by opening accounts without asking the customer.
