re: #229 Targetpractice

Big Business totally thought that this was gonna be another “Turnkey Recession,” where they closed things down for a few weeks, then threw open the doors, turned the machines back on, and things went back to “normal.” They have absolutely no solution for a future where it’s difficult or even impossible to get workers to come back to the office.

We are still stuck in a 19-century views of productivity as measured in how many times you pull the lever at your workstation in the factory.

A GF told me bout one of her jobs at a credit card call center where managers stood behind people with stopwatches to time how long they spent taking calls.

Productivity in modern companies can no longer be monitored or measured using those parameters. And yes, an awful lot of it does not have to be done in any one particular place.
