I think we are in a period where the workers know that their “Boss” needs the workers more than the workers need the “Boss”. If the people in charge act like little tyrants and try to rule through fear, the workers just won’t put up with it. And a lot of people in management these days only know how to manage by fear. They’re dinosaurs now.
You’ll be able to point out their posts easily…
yeah I had plenty of those types.

If KPI’s and MBO’s were measuring tools in the past then they can be measuring tools going forward.
I have a friend who is a VP of sales and was informed she and her team to need to be in office 3 days a week.
Well, many tried to come to office but, found no one else was their and the commute wasn’t worth the effort so, back to working in pajamas and they still over achieve....
Company I just left made it mandatory to come to office everyday. Why? Who knows. It’s not like we ever had a meeting to discuss anything and besides, I’m in outside sales.
WTH would you want your people in the office everyday to do nothing, particularly your highest performers?
That was their answer to dwindling sales and loss of existing revenue.
Lame....
I left...
