This is a terrible take. I actually see this a lot in bad European corporate culture: complacency, laziness, making excuses, constant postponements.
Postponements quickly compound and slowly open the door to make future ones more acceptable. Businesses with a healthy sense of urgency succeed.
yes
the inefficency is really frustrating, especially regarding opportunity cost regarding potential revenue from the company's eyes and potential development from the employee's eyes
One of the key issues for me is that most workers prefer a stable (low) pay every month rather than a variable pay proportional to the company's current revenue.
Seemingly everyone prefers to rent-seek and sit around 8 hours per day doing the bare minimum. The incentives are so broken.
yep
why would you punish a worker giving you the answer in 30 minutes, and make him spend hours upon hours on it on paper to get the same reward for it
fiat world view, if they needed the money they would want to kill it every day.
This sounds more like government, than private enterprise. Or are these companies receiving subsidies or funded by NPOs?
This is funny because I work for a local city government and it is surprisingly different, extremely busy. If the worker isn't busy with the mountains of paperwork it will consume them and they will either have to do free overtime or leave on mental sick leave and never come back.
