Comment Now that's good managing (Score 2) 400
I once worked on a place with such "mind control" (I would have put it as "emotional blackmail"). Oooh, free food! Oooh, videogames to play after lunch -there is a one hour mandated break, although most people will be done by 15-30 minutes-! Ooooh, free pizza&beer every Friday! Oooh, lots of parties on weekends! Yeah, well, I got fired because of the mortal sin of going home at about 7-7:30pm despite having been told that I had very good technical capabilities, so I wouldn't say it was a good job.
I'll take owning my time over such "perks" any day, and I wish there were more CEOs like this guy.
I work, I go home when I've done my 8 hours, I get paid. Simple. Why is this so difficult to grasp?
