I'm on the first part and I struggle to not scream.
- the well run place seems too keen on micro managing. Estimating every step to the point of cancelling improvement is not 'well run'. I'm sure every book about advanced company management will tell you that.
- the badly run is hmm.. at least partially (if not totally) naive. What are the odds that people not being asked anything don't just talk all day long ? The most probable equilibrium point will be most employees doing a little bit of the mandatory duties in the morning, a little bit in the afternoon, separated by lengthy bits of smalltalk (not they kay kind). I have yet to see one person trying to fix anything in their environment because they had free time. 99% of them will just have a new topic to vent about in the coming coffee / smalltalk pause.
ps: anybody knows talks or books about people operating like emergency teams ? where the natural spirit is optimize everything until you reach hard limits ?
- thedaly 2y agoThe entire premise is based around the idea that one still has to appear busy or has a desire to demonstrate something that will justify a raise.
- agumonkey 2y agoNot to sound too naive, I think this whole paradigm creates a bad soil overall. Before I joined $big-corp I was working better and growing faster. Now that I'm in it, I gradually morphed into this kind of employee.. it's a relativistic game and if the system is stupid and rewards the bullshitter, you end up like them (at the risk of your mental health quite often). A good group is one where people are motivated to be sharp, creative, fast, efficient, curious, sharing, open minded IMO.
