...and then you had to post something insulting. -_-


to be fair, Vlado, you haven't been the easiest person to reach on this matter. You've stood your ground and refused to accept that you may not be understanding THIS situation to its fullest.

I guess you have a point because I wasn't so interested in this particular situation as in what things should be like on principle. Nevertheless, I gave my opinion of the situation in a simple enough manner in #254.

But really, no hard feelings or anything, you're a reasonable enough dude.

GenesisSaga, on the other hand, really gives me the hostile vibe in this topic.

Sure that works with those numbers.

Not really much of a point though. If you switch it so that employee A and B can produce 1000 units of output from even 3 hours it's still better to go that route right? In the end it comes down to results. Yeah you're better off finding a C that can do 1000 but will work 8, but sometimes the choices aren't that nice.

Very well said. In the real world, things are very different from the utopia King Butz described.

1. Results are certainly important in the grand scheme of things. In my situation there are No results. There is also no work.

2. Badmouthing a peer for thinking they "don't work hard enough" is certainly a scummy thing to do. Who am I to say they aren't working "hard enough". In my situation I am bad mouthing the employee for not only NOT working but while she is NOT working she is also refusing to assist the rest of the office that IS working with simple tasks like fielding phone calls.

Well, so long as we agree on that, I guess we have more common ground than it initially seemed.

This particular issue is not of that much interest to me in comparison to how things should be in principle, namely:

1. Results (pretty objective term) should be favoured by the management over "hard work" (pretty subjective one).
2. Badmouthing your peer before the boss because you think "they don't work hard enough" is bad, period. You're certainly not in position to say who works hard enough and who doesn't, unless you are the manager and it's actually your job to make such assessments.

I don't know how to put it more simply.

It truly baffles me that anyone would disagree with these two.



If you wanna talk about the case at hand, if we have to be rational about it, I think SBell's action was wrong, aside from point 2, also because the average boss is more likely to get annoyed at him for badmouthing his kid than actually do something about the supposed issue (much less promote SBell for being such a great employee). And the hypocrisy was already pointed out, as well.

Well the results from working hard (or working smart as it applies) tend to be better than not. So if you produce a certain level of results it is reasonable to expect that those can be improved if you increase your productivity. If you have to do a ton of different things while getting results to sustain the results then you probably do in fact have A.D.D. Nothing really wrong with that, just kind of stating the obvious though. If you don't have to be doing those things, then you are decreasing your potential results.

I don't know, dude, sometimes you need to catch a breath before you can continue working. If you're not allowed to do that, I believe you'll do worse. Refusing the employee that right is a recipe for failure, if you ask me, as opposed to getting even better results from him/her. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.



lol, GS, Drake directly called out Butz, who supported SBell's action. Care to apply simple logic, please?

And Tim called out SBell on whining in this thread for hours, while at work, that actually someone else wasn't being productive. After taking the time to journal their activities, no less. Yeah, sure sounds like he doesn't agree with SBell simply out of spite.

The latter IS 100% correct about you and me, however.

Well, that's sad. Why wouldn't you agree? I'm interested to hear a defence of favouring "working hard" over results that is at least superficially sound.

If someone does no work, the manager will know, trust me. Guess how? By the lack of results, of course.

It's absolutely none of your business to judge how good of a worker someone else is, much less talk to his/her boss about it. Different people have different working habits, and the only thing that matters is whether their work is done at the end of the day or not.

Yes, maybe in this particular case the girl really does no work, but that doesn't make SBell any less wrong about talking to the boss about it (the fact that she's his daughter doesn't make SBell's action very beneficial for his career, either, but that's another question).

If you refresh the board once or more, for instance, that means you have to pick the top option. It's not rocket science.
