McKinsey bogus research about diversity leading to better profit

/

While actual bonus amount hasn't changed, they've adjusted the % for high performers. 4 raters were previously paid 150% and 5 raters were paid 200% Not like I had motivation to work hard enough for a 4 anyway but now it's not even worth much lol

4 interns in my team, 1 male and 3 are female. Only 1(Male) is from core CS Branch and rest are all from non CS branches. The 3 are learning how to code in python and this 1 intern is blowing all the tasks that we are giving. I can see the fear of HR on my manager’s face at each standup. For if he fails the 3 non performing interns and gives only 1 PPO.

Context 1. Shantanu, Bombay Shaving Company founder has been very vocal on LinkedIn about this. 2. Morning context article today on Ashish Mohapatra, OfBusiness cofounder and their bad HR practices Does it stem from some kind of superiority complex Mc Kinsey consultants have?

“one company found that its most talented developers were spending excessive time on noncoding activities such as design sessions or managing interdependencies across teams.” We don't need to spend time on system design and making sure it works across teams! What a time and resources waste. “To truly benefit from measuring productivity, leaders and developers alike need to move past the outdated notion that leaders “cannot” understand the intricacies of software engineering, or that engineering is too complex to measure. “ Corporate dogma at its finest. I’m deeply, deeply, concerned that my engineers spend too much time thinking! If only there was an organisation that could charge me millions per day per bum (ideally non-practitioners) to confirm my suspicions in PowerPoint form. Understanding the problem? Design? Waste of time!!! You need a "software factory" code-test-deploy. From the same guys who predicted the cloud is a fad and everyone should build their own data centre, or cellular tech will never take off. Sadly, there would be many listening to them and make changes accordingly and suffer badly. https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-telecommunications/our-insights/yes-you-can-measure-software-developer-productivity

This is truly truly heartbreaking to hear.
