May 15, 2009 at 04:31Empirically established ...
Take two designer individuals and place them in adjacent rooms. In room number one, we organize slippers, a cat and ficus. The second - a throughput system, cheap tea dust in bags and limited Internet traffic. We will give the experts the same tasks and find out who performs them more efficiently. We will select the experimental subjects so that they have an equal weight of cultural baggage, are not devoid of ambitions and human weaknesses.
Test 1. Responsibility.
The time spent in the office is the time and money of the company. Therefore, a full-time specialist easily begins to squander it, drinking tea dust and talking about star war.
An independent specialist is not faced with the problem of self-motivation. Any hour spent not at work or its search is stealing oneself. Of course, our experimental subject needs to eat, sleep and reload brains. But unlike the office sloth, an independent specialist is aware of why he is not currently working. Loneliness forces one to be honest with oneself, for there is no one to lie (the cat is not considered).
Test 2. Productivity.
A complex company management mechanism requires predictable planning. Dates are averaged, the productivity of all specialists is considered the same. Office mutants called man-hours appear (we saw spider-man, but what does a man-watch look like ... enibadi know?)
The productivity of a domestic worker is independent of the surrounding office ballast. The sooner you submit one project, the faster you will start the next one. “One of the ways to break the wheel of samsara is to spin it up as quickly as possible,” our experimental commented on the approach to work.
Test 3. Physical data.
A sleepy employee is an enemy of the company. In turn, office mode is the enemy of the employee. In room number two, we observe another victory of the regime and the subsequent damage to the company in the form of a poorly done or prolonged project due to the drowsiness of the individual. An interesting fact from the life of the subject: he was stubbornly accustomed to kindergarten in the afternoon sleep, but then suddenly the holiday ended and severe school / institute / labor (emphasize necessary) days came.
“You’ll sleep an hour - you’ll work a couple of hours,” - this is the motto of a specialist in a room with ficus. As you can see, it is bearing fruit in the form of fresh ideas and quick delivery of the project.
Test 4. Mode.
When we took the number two individual to the state, we promised him a 40-hour work week. We tricked him. To work out the manager’s lack of professionalism or the profanity of the customer, he has to go to work on weekends and linger in the evenings.
Surprisingly, in room number one, the specialist is also seen at the workplace on weekends and holidays. The only thing that distinguishes him from his colleague is the presence of a smile on his face and excitement in his eyes. We see how another idea comes to his sleepy head, and he sits with burning eyes until night.
Test 5. Rest.
Our full-time specialist worked a lot, earned some money, decided to buy a car and ride, say, a couple of months in Europe. Relax, get impressed and come up with new ideas. I reported this to my superiors. It, in turn, informed him that he could put his fantasies in a drawer, and asked him to go to work next weekend, because he (the bosses) has many interesting plans for loading an employee with a new profitable (for bosses) job.
Glancing into the room with ficus, we do not see the subject there. Really drove off to Europe? No matter how! We let him out just for a couple of hours in an everyday free gym: to cheer up, drive blood to the brain and think about our enviable share.
Test 6. Experience.
In room two, to our experimental subject, we regularly launch individuals of the same sex with him, so that they can engage in mutual enhancement of experience. The experiments succeed well: you can see how the productivity and knowledge of individuals grows. You see, soon they will put experiments on us!
Yes, it is not easy for a test subject in a room with a ficus: he was given a difficult task by the customer. The third day he hits the wall. Physical injuries and self-digging threaten to nullify the results of the experiment. But what do we see? An individual arranges a virtual conference meeting with people like him. They long and hard banging on the keys ... Voila! Our subject gets out of a seemingly hopeless situation. The idea was invented, part of the income was transferred to friends as a thank you, the project was saved, experience was gained.
Test 7. Cost of maintenance.
The difficult conditions that we came up with for an office employee entail high costs. This led to the enormous cost of services of the company in which the experimental staff works. Not every innovative and young business can turn to such a company. A large queue of customers in room number two was lined up, apparently, in the old Russian habit: "pay a lot, wait a long time." Therefore, customers are angry, and drive managers back and forth, and are forced to redo the work of unfortunate experimental subjects.
A rare bird flies out the window to our domestic subject. But if it flies, it will be drunk, fed and receive such plumage from the designer that it will overshadow the beauty of all old and decrepit birds. Not for fear works our experimental, but for conscience!
Marginal notes.
It turned out that in the food chain, an office specialist is one or two steps lower than an independent home contractor. In the second case, only the customer is able to eat the brains of the designer. But the office subject has additional chances to be eaten by evil bosses. Therefore, the home inhabitant gains over time valuable experience of persuasion, and sometimes even pressure on the king of the food chain - endowed with the capital of the customer.
To date, the experiment continues ...
