This reminds me of how after he got elected he kept having rallies. He just gets doing something and can't figure out how to stop. Like when he shits himself.

i am a moron posted:I’m part of the middle management at my company and I don’t do that at least and my company doesn’t either. Which might be part of the problem with me understanding this, I dunno. Ive read some wild poo poo on SA about people and their companies so maybe it’s not as uncommon as I think. I feel bad for anyone who has to work in the kinds of environments that are being suggested here. the majority of people in management in the usa are awful human beings. it's not like acab because there's the occasional decent manager, but they're the exception. it's not just surveillance, mind, management can and will gently caress up everything. CainFortea posted:I was the top tech rep at a call center by literally every metric they tracked and a middle manager tried to cut my pay down to entry level (I was getting top billing since I was the top performer) because my response to the question "What are you doing to improve your stats?" was "Nothing, i'm the best. I am giving this company very good service for the pay they are giving me." someone i know who worked in one was "employee of the month" at a place and ended up quitting because management decided that, even though all the metrics were being met, there were too many bathroom breaks being taken, so those were now restricted. p sure that wasn't legal but it's one of those things you don't bother fighting because either way you lose.

Call operations management philosophy is literally about treating all labor as unskilled and replaceable, no different from any other tool on the line. If an employee thinks they aren't a tool, operations management says that tool is broken, and must be fixed or replaced. It's much more ideological than rational, and it's the same logic that leads companies to shoot their dicks off when trying to crush unions. I was a high performing but frequently shat upon operations employee when I got my MBA. it all suddenly made sense when I took the mandatory operations class. The outcome of an operation can be defective or good, but there's no room for exceptional: if it doesn't fit into the reality of mass production of physical goods, it doesn't fit into contemporary operational management philosophy. Since the output needs to be just good enough to not be defective, exceptional quality is irrelevant. All that matters from the line is volume and meeting quality minimums. Accordingly, any "tool" that produces exceptional output is no better than one that produces acceptable output, and between those two options, whichever produces more is better. This is why if you were an operations employee, being the superstar gets you little to nothing. It's also why if you rely on operational output, nothing will ever be reliably great - anything better than good enough is inefficiency.

The big lesson I got from business school is the best gig is inheriting wealth, but if you must work, as I must, absolutely, positively, most definitely work in an area where your value can't be definitively quantified. If your work can be valued then it's a race to the bottom to make it cheap. Or yeah sales works too.

I fear the negative societal consequences of transitioning to WFH being the default are loving huge. If you think bourgeois computer touchers are detached from the plight of the less fortunate now, just wait until they're completely de-anchored from urban cores and shift housing even further into the hinterlands. The more detached they are from the realities others face, the more likely they'll go full FYGM and swing ever more wildly economically conservative. That same filtering into increasingly far-flung areas will balance out the environmental gains of eliminating single-person-per-car commutes. More green-field construction of single-family housing in previously pristine areas; more lengthy drives for basic necessities. Downsizing or even eliminating offices would also gently caress over all those low-paid workers tasked with basic upkeep. I don't know, I feel like a crazy person whenever I raise these points in conversations with my coworkers as they go completely unacknowledged and folks just circle back to "I really want to work in my PJs all the time  ". Allowing some measure of WFH where possible absolutely makes sense and is long overdue, but it being the norm is going to take us further down a bad path that started with suburbanization.

I didn't realize Parler was founded in my home city of Henderson, somehow. I wonder if their HQ is some noname post-office box like most of them or if it's an actual building/suite somewhere. That being said, I'm curious where the "Obama has been arrested" information chain leads. How deep does it go? Did this dude make it up wholesale or can he at least claim to have heard it from some other anonymous source? E: I guess I'm just curious where the connection to the make-believe world is right now.

Youre talking about an extreme and possibly rapid shift in the current paradigm. It would be rather hard to view this and the consequences due to the level of change. You're talking about the accelerated destruction of low/mid income jobs that has been happening from the internet for awhile, and the further concentration of wealth into a smaller number of hands. To be clear, you are right, these are already trends and you don't have to look far for examples.

On the otherhand, 100% WFH will be a pipe dream for the majority of even "highly skilled workers*" once vaccines hit the shelves. Fangs and silicon valley might do it, but there was never a compelling reason to require butts in seats before the virus beyond old farts in management needing to get their daily dose of adrenalin from walking into something they ostensibly own and watch all the people toil away for less then they're worth so that he can afford a third BMW and a second mistress, while middle management types bow and scrape in the hopes they might be able to afford their first BMW. Office suites have always been a status symbol to the exec class, and are not really treated as a cost center. *what ever that means.

orange juche posted:If you're on an employer owned asset it's quite easy, you can make it a condition of employment or use of the device. Where it gets thorny is if the company can't afford or won't justify the expense of providing work laptops to WFH employees and just say "hey extend BYOD to people's personal computers", and then try to install spyware on your home PC to monitor work productivity because they were too cheap to pay for laptops. Pretty sure there are legal restrictions regarding this, I know it makes corporate legal departments break out in a cold sweat. RFC2324 posted:If its a company owned resource, the company can do with it as they please. That includes monitoring everything you do with it. I was almost expecting this was the case, and that's incredibly hosed up.
