    People get paid lots of money because they get results that generate even more money. Those people are given that money based on a track record of success. That success comes from making demands, and being cut throat. There is a very slim chance you can be nice and successful. It sucks, but that’s why they are assholes, because that’s who survives in those environments. Look at c level execs or really driven managers and it’s all the same “success at any cost” mantra. Also 10 minutes of paperwork at $14 an hour is $2.50 to the company while that same 10 minutes to this “top earners” is $20, or over an hour of a minimum wagers time. That’s why I am against huddles in the first place, they are money pits.


  • A lot of contractors (good ones) know how to play the game. You can get away with a lot when the companies vertically integrated sales app that only they can fix goes belly up. Saw this before where an easily replaceable manager goes up against a long time contractor (ya know, with a contract) and leadership gets to decide how to resolve the situation…

    Still could just be a slack thread or a dashboard. Putting people in a room every day is simply wasteful, even if it “works okay”. When I managed a team I hated them, but we did have a meeting each Friday afternoon to go over what we did well that week, so I guess you have to be tactical about when you pull everyone off task to huddle.
