They think we're cattle, but cattle won't eat the rich.
I have always told folks that I managed, that I'm nothing without them. Yea, I have a MBA as well, but man, are alot of those business folks short sighted to a fault. Like lack of empathy and foresight.
If your KPI's are based around having a knowledge worker in a chair in a room, your business should die.
Plain and simple.
Cattle will stampede if you piss them off enough.
Cows will also chomp down on meat and little birds if given the opportunity. I grew up on a ranch herbivore doesn’t mean vegan like peeps seem to think it does. If they feel like they’re low on a nutrient and have opportunity they’ll nom on anything. No this isn’t pica either.
My boss is awesome. He realizes that his job is mostly to make sure we're able to do our jobs effectively. It really feels like I'm working with him, not for him, which is how it should be.
Same. My manager works in another country and he told me that it doesn’t matter where I work from because from his perspective I’m a remote employee wherever I sit.
Same, my manager contacts me a handful of times throughout the year, the rest of the time he trusts I'm doing what I am tasked to do. We had a company wide meeting at head office requiring travel for everyone, the schedule was on my kid's birthday. I conveyed that I would be missing the bday, and they shifted meeting a few days to accommodate. Not all corporations are heartless slave drivers
All these "nobody wants to work anymore" people are the ones that think they don't have to take care of their employees because they can always hire someone else.
