if only more companies fostered the idea of employee wellbeing
- mycologos 2y agoA somewhat cynical take is that "smart people" is doing a lot of work here. If you get to restrict your hiring to people who have proven themselves to be world-class in something, they are probably much more likely to respond to freedom by pursuing something than by coasting (or worse).
- quartesixte 2y agoYeah an unpopular and maybe socially inconvenient thing to say at parties, but the more I manage operational teams, the more I find this true. Bureaucracy stoops down to the lowest common denominator of the group. Smart people capable of self-motivating and self-organizing don’t need a lot of bureaucratic structure if given enough incentive and freedom. Being promised millions is a lot of incentive.
- richrichie 2y agoEmployee wellbeing is overrated. In fact, standard economic theory would say that it is better to pay people more instead doing anything else.
