This is why I'm skeptical about "Results Only Work Environments". (Not that the person in the article has one, but..)
It seems to me that a Results Oriented Work Environment doesn't (or might not) really reward the super performers (just gives them more work to do), while still punishing the poorer performing members of the team.
You: "Boss, can I go home after I finish my daily quota of 200 reports?"
Them: "Well, we're a results only work environment"
You: "Ok, it's 10:30AM and my script just finished 200 reports. Seeya!"
Them: "Wait just a minute..."
Meanwhile, in an alternative reality....
You: "Boss, it's 6PM, I'm still working on my daily quota of 200 reports, but my productivity is starting to suffer and I'm going slowly" (maybe not because you're a slow data entry person, but you were pairing with Bob, helping him with his work at the cost of your own)
Them: "Well, we're a results only work environment"
You: (Sad Yao)
It's possible that I'm wrong here, and would love to hear of other people's experience working under these conditions.
