This wouldn't be how you run any company, let alone a country!!! The US people need to act now. To the US citizens reading this, what is your sense of urgency over there? I dont see a lot happening, some, but not close to enough #uspoli #fuckelonmusk
@causeburn you don't know that companies do run that way? I've certainly been employed by multiple companies that ran that way.
Anyway, US citizens did act. That's how we are in this situation in the first place.
Over the years people lost so much faith in the the federal government that they elected Trump as a vote for change. It didn't have to be this way, but the politicians in DC really messed up, so here we are.
Honestly, I think often enough it's more of a symptom of a problem, more of a effect than a cause.
I think it comes up when an organization is outgrowing its ability to manage itself. It's taking on too many projects, its management structure can no longer direct employees with confidence, can't direct resources with confidence, generally just an organization that is crumbling under its own weight so it has to add even more resource consuming feedback channels just to try to hold it together.
Scumbag or not, once management starts asking employees what they did in the last week, it's a sign that things are already pretty off the rails organization wise, as management has lost a grip on where its resources are going.
And that exact same lesson applies to the US federal government.
@volkris oh I've been apart of a few scumbag companies. This kind of approach though typically has the worst outcome for the company and the individuals.
