This horrible game theory bullshit being applied to all work interactions is why I will never work for an American company again.
- wyager 1y agoIs it also why American companies pay multiple times as much as whatever alternative market you're thinking of?
- 7402 1y agoThe necessary and sufficient conditions for game theory to apply to a situation, any situation whatsoever, anywhere in the world, is two or more human beings in communication. That's all. Sometimes the "game theory bullshit," as you put it, is more evident and sometimes less so. But it's always there.
- jvans 1y agoI kind of agree with you. On the one hang OP is logically correct, on the other it's very sad and a form of a tragedy of the commons. If everyone gave candid feedback we'd all be better off.
- nly 1y agoIt's happening whether you participate or not. Work should be transactional. You owe your employer nothing beyond what you're contractually obliged.
- quadrifoliate 1y agoYou're right that American companies have a lot of game theoretic bullshit going on, but in my opinion this is just straightforward interpersonal advice. It boils down to saying "it's not you, it's me" when you're dumping someone, which is a time-worn trope for a reason.
- aeternum 1y agoIt's not even correct game theory because it only analyzes the negatives. There are plenty of positives like being a hero to many coworkers and teammates. You should generally care more how competent individuals see you and less how incompetent individuals see you.
