This is the ONE good thing Covid brought about. Lots of company employees never realized the place they work for already had the infrastructure in place for almost EVERYONE to work from home and even BYOD.
When they found out they were like holy shit, I've been living a fucking lie.
I've been remote for 13 years and I'm waaay more productive.
Going to the office is a scam. I spent about five years living in hotels and airplanes, didn't affect my "productivity".
If you're hiring a people that *need* to be stuffed into a cubicle inside an office so you can 'keep an eye on them' you're absolutely hiring the wrong people.
@th3j35t3r @mcfate Good, productive, innovative teams are built on trust. Attitudes like Dell's show a complete lack of trust.
Isn't it some sort of a basic management principle that the best way to get the most out of your people is to treat them like they were untrustworthy toddlers?
No?
@mcfate Lots of managers believe that people wouldn't work at all unless they were supervised.
My conclusion is that it describes the manager's own values -- THEY wouldn't work without a babysitter. @th3j35t3r
I had a micromanager one time. He clearly never got anything done that didn't involve pestering and wasting the time of the people reporting to him.
We did not get on well.
"What have you done this morning?"
"Typed 4,629 characters. Probably more, I erased some, too."
@mcfate We had a client who was good at "management by crisis." So he was always inventing a crisis so that he'd have something to do.
Seems germane. @th3j35t3r
