Is it the actual task they dislike or the fact there is no care or consideration for workers as human beings? I imagine many would enjoy their jobs a lot more if you had less focus on what is seemingly productive behaviour, aka coming into an office for no reason, working more hours than paid for, doing exactly what your boss says, not taking holiday and so on, and actually started being allowed to take care of themselves to allow themselves the opportunity to be more fulfilled across their whole life. Get rid of those staff who believe doing everything you can for the company is all that matters, and you will see more enthusiastic workers with better output.

- ktallett 2y agoOf course, high enough up that is true, however there are always those middle management evangelists who have believed the word from the CEO and chosen that their workers should follow their lead.
- itsathrowaway2 2y agoSure, and if the top management changed their approach, so would this middle layer. A fish rots from the head down.
- ktallett 2y agoSomeone who won't say no and follows orders blindly is harder to work with than someone with unrealistic expectations and ideas. The latter is easier to deal with than the former in my view.
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoIf they're too far up to fire, maybe round up everybody who matters and explain to the shareholders that you're all going to quit and form a competing company unless they choose new leadership. If they don't comply, make good on your threat.
