Microsoft says it’s the ultimate measure of employee productivity (does it make any sense?)

Dogma? Or Data? Or maybe manage the reality?

The polarization is terrible.

more Technically incorrect

One side just sees things from his or her perspective and knows it’s right.

The other party looks at things from its own perspective and wonders what the first party is talking about.

It makes the viewer unbearable.

Sorry, I’m not talking about politics.

I’m trying not to do that because in politics too much has been obvious for a long time. (At least that’s how it appears from my side.)

No, today’s topic is work remotelynew hybrid life and how Bosses and employees see it differently.

Also: Working rules are changing and hybrid work is winning

Dogma vs Data

Recently, Microsoft Its vast emanation Research work trends that revealed the gap between management on the right – I’m sorry, I mean in the right corner – and the staff on the left.

Speaking at Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella explained it like this: “Basically, 85% of workers or members of the workforce think they’re productive. 85% plus managers think there’s more to be desired in terms of productivity.”

I’m not sure what the difference is between workers and members of the workforce. Perhaps Microsoft classifies freelancers as workers and employees as members. Once there, you would think that membership would have its perks.

Please forgive the digression because another quote from Nadella pushed me into depression.

“So there’s that paradox, and I think the best way to connect the paradox is not to have more dogma, but more data,” he said.

Ah, but of course. Data. It solves everything because it is everything.

Also: How combined work will empower all workers

Every person is a number, so everyone’s productivity is also a number. Just like the meaning of life is 42.

Perhaps some jobs allow productivity to be measured in numbers. What shocked me, however, was Nadella’s apparent polarization towards the question. You are led by dogma or you are led by data.

Dogma Ate My Data

Alrighty then. So who are you going to fire? Are 85% of workers – and members of the workforce – clearly wrong or 85% of managers clearly wrong?

There’s no point in keeping both of them, right? If it is clear that one side is led by dogma and the other by data, then dogmatists should be dismissed immediately.

You can’t go to a board meeting and say, “Dogma has eaten away at my data,” okay?

Please forgive me for sounding naive, but of course there has to be some consensus on what productivity even means, never mind what data can determine it?

Also: Remote work is giving more people more free time. Here’s what they’re doing with it

What if one employee is not directly as productive as another, but acts as a motivating glue to hold employees together and work better together? So many companies have employees who deliver more than just results.

The third way

Isn’t there at least a third party in the battle between dogma and data nesting? How about management?

You know, something that used to require skill, ingenuity, and no human empathy? That thing that sometimes pushes a career forward because the results are obvious? It’s what really keeps employees engaged when they might have gone astray.

If a manager is driven solely by data, they can certainly be replaced by the machine that generates that data.

In fact, perhaps 85% of leaders claim that remote worker or hybrid Are lack of productivity are all leaders not enough?

I’m just wondering because leadership doesn’t seem like much these days. A quick look at tech leaders can leave an employee or two wondering, “Is this something I have to admire?”

Do you really want people like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg to be your productivity raters? Why, the latter is reported to use a algorithm to decide who to fire.

Also: Going back to the office is a ‘productivity killer’

I suspect that Nadella can perceive at least some nuance. Later in his Yahooed services, he reflected further on what he calls the productivity paranoia.

“I think that management is really about making sure you’re a leader and the manager is very clear about what the company or team’s goals are, sets standards for how people work together,” he said. work and communicate.”

Surely that will be helpful.

But the real problem is not the right assessment employee productivity What is the prevailing view today that data is dogmatic?
