@ the 1:25 point my simple answer to her question would be because we now have generations addicted to technology and for all it’s good it has spoilt & almost ruined our definition of humanity, keep tech to the machines and leave humanity alone to communicate properly and not through a screen. Isn’t tech supposed to help us not hinder us, if it is the latter then your solution starts as always with its creators.

Asking questions is a good place to start because you can’t expect everyone to be openly expressive. I wish more workplaces just talked to their employees individually, a lot more good could come out of a two person conversation.

Lol. How can someone start a “honest” conversation when our social infrastructure is taught to lie at an early age?
Our entire social infrastructure is in itself a lie.. which makes this a side effect to compounding lie one after the other until it’s embedded into our DNA
Example: we all know the peoples vote went to Trump. It’s obvious but who sits in the White House? The group least liked by the people but the media ran it another way..

Betsy: if I owned a company, that’s advice that I would like to share with my people. BUUUUT: in 99% of companies out there, no one wants to hear your thoughts or « positive criticism », especially if they are in a superior position. Officially, information does not flow from bottom to top, and owners are happy as long as the company is making money. Having worked with many organizations, small and large, the ‘Cover Your A**’ motto is best for survival. Companies today DON’T CARE ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES. Too bad.

Well said. Dollar is the bottom line. If you are on side of the dollar (in the eyes of the management, which can be wrong, BTW), you will win. Otherwise, you will lose.

TLDR: Problems can stem from the management level seeming to be intent on keeping employees subservient.
I’ve told a supervisor in a matter-of-fact tone with the best figures available to me that more parts were needed to meet a shipment. She said I was wrong and threatened to take away our tracking system on the floor. In the end we were both off but I was still right that there wasn’t enough which was found out once we built what we could. After that experience I took my leave of the company because nothing was done even though this level of short sighted management was running rampant.
THIS IS A LARGER PROBLEM.

I have a better solution: meetings are worthless, get rid of them (at least in person ones). From my experience they are just a sounding board for trite buzzwords that the dumbest in the room can “understand”; I guess this is done so that everyone feels included. I would rather everyone write down their ideas in lucid and precise English, email it, and force people to READ everyone else’s ideas. 1). This will weed out the idiots who cant think to the point where they can write down their ideas (you will be surprised how many there are) 2.) It forces people to THINK 3.) You will UNDERSTAND people’s biases to avoid talking past each other later. I have Asperger’s and the neurotypicals out there might disagree with me. I have brought this up at my company (I’m an engineer), and have been told that my suggestion is too much work. But so is having countless meetings that don’t accomplish anything. I cannot understand your world (all of you seem so confident and happy socializing)! I may be biased, but I’ve never seen anything worthwhile come from meetings.

Wonder if this lady actually worked in tough projects. Usually, projects are tough because management is unwilling to vendor, or hire, or move deadlines. They get used to finishing projects by either asking teams to cut corners, or by asking them to work above their normal hours.
Giving them solutions that don’t produce half-baked results, or slave-drive their people is usually met with: “We had a meeting with upper management, and these projects are critical to complete by next quarter, can we order some pizza for the weekend for you, and also what can we do to simplify this?” (“Simplify” is code word for cutting corners, testing, other things.)
This lady has not really seen the real bad places.

Don’t totally agree with her, but it is interesting how we have gotten to a place in society where politeness overrules everything. If I ever do get into a confrontation with someone at work, I am shaking and my voice wobbles and I get extremely emotional. But why? I am not physically getting assaulted, yet we’ve programmed ourselves growing up to not speak up because it is a cardinal sin. It’s not. We shouldn’t shy away from confrontation, as long as it’s justifiable.

The mic drop moment literally has the solutions built into it. Saying we sont have enough x y z to complete this task is the same as saying we need more x y z to complete it. The problem is that the boss basically wants to know well… I know it’s not reasonable, but how can you do it anyway?

It’s not that hard to understand if you understand English.
Cancel culture is all about removing people who say things you don’t want them to say. Filtering them. This makes people filter themselves for fear of removal. But watching what one said came first, it was the gateway to it.
