I have been talking to a few companies, across different size bands. Only Indian startups seem to obsessed with full week WFO/Micromanagement.
A few years back, startups were known for being more flexible, now it just seems to be the reverse.
I know a lot of folks will not agree, but when it comes to accountability (+ some integrity), the vast majority are really really behind. Those who show some are stomped up on as well.
The only way to get over this might be to micromanage. I'm not in support of it, but I myself have been seeing a change around me because of some people, a few others will also have to suffer from micro-management. Yes, it's not easy on me/my mind, but the work is moving a bit more.
I've seen this at a lot of places. I usually trust others with things, but the results have more often disappointed me. Now, I just delegate only of it's really required.
Would it look good if they only call the underperforming junta to the office and let others stay at home?
Fire the underperforming junta instead of punishing everyone with letting go of 3 more hours of their lives everyday.
And frankly, underperformers will underperform even with their (micro)managers breathing down their necks. We aren't school children to be supervised by teachers.
People getting fired because of underperformance in remote would want the company to make an effort to help fix it rather than directly fire them. By reducing the possible factors of underperformance
WFO not necessarily means micromanagement. Seems you have gotten your fiest job in covid times, and now you are not ready to go back to normal
Nope, I was in my 4th job.
Once we have been introduced to a superior system, we don't go back to an inferior one only because we used it before. I have also spent most of my life doing cash transactions, but I won't go back to it in India, now that we have UPI.
You would go back to cash as soon as the network goes down. WFH is not a superior system, it’s just one more system
Because there are only two types of startups
