> imagine a constructive management environment, where the “mothership” worries I think this is limited to the realm of imagination. It will never happen. There is nothing maternal or caring about modern enterprise. Caring is an act of sacrifice-- giving more than you take. Even charities don't "care," the leaders make bank through arbitrage/exploitation of other people's empathy. Introspection does not generate revenue. At best it generates goodwill, until the next CEO cashes out on it a decade later and screws everyone anyway. > part of the sales pitch is that these internal conversation channels provide a meaningful view into staff’s reactions, dynamics, and states of mind. This really isn't a good thing, at all. It's that social media paradigm where you figure out how to keep the audience maximally-engaged without driving them away. It sounds like a beneficial thing but only ever amounts to assessing "what can I get away with before they mutiny?" It's not a sign of good leadership, it's the playbook of a carnival worker. I do internal investigations. Half of me wishes we had this visibility for obvious reason. The other half dreads the implications of actually having it.
