No, you don't know how to manage genZ (or any other cohort) because that's not a fucking thing.
Start here:
Fight to pay them more. Period. This should be at the top of your daily to-do list. Your team is the reason you have a job, and they're the reason your shareholders live such splendid lives. So, you want to keep your position(s) of benefit & security? Then never stop fighting for worker's pay & benefit INCREASES. It is really hard to care about management, production (or shareholders ๐) when you can't take care of yourself or your family.
Curate a safe, work-focused environment that supports the life-cycle of a product that actually solves current, real-world problems like - global warming, profiteering, equality, etc.
Stop managing and learn how to lead.
Leaders:
Know how to say, "I don't know."
Show / do by example
Share knowledge
Support and foster knowledge sharing.
Shut their goddamn mouths and trust their teams to succeed (that's why you hired them in the first place right?) and when the team/member falls short of PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON goals you work together to address the extenuating circumstance(s).
Every company's greatest asset and product is the verve, innovation, and vision of its employees. Squash, or worse, fail to invest in any of these aspects of your workforce and the human beings you're trying to "manage" will "manage" themselves into better working conditions elsewhere.
You said everything people need to hear, but in a cruel and condescending voice to someone looking to fix the issue that we're all pissed off about. Consider your presentation given the context, homie.
Is wasn't even all correct, more angry than useful overall
I really want to upvote and downvote at the same time.
Angry upvote?
That's just it, I'm not angry about it.
It's more like there's parts I really agree with and parts I really disagree with.
And then, with the parts that I agree with and the parts I disagree with, how they were presented in some ways I liked and in other ways I really disliked.
Up/down votes are just a system for suggesting other people read the post. Nothing more. Should it get more visibility?
Well that's a side effect, I can't agree with you though that that's the only reason, as I know that's not how people use it.
They use it to either agree or disagree to what's being said, or to show their approval/disapproval of how the comment was written, that it was with written well or not, even if they disagree with what was being said.
That might be how people use it, but it's not what it does. It just controls visibility
Understood, but when you're describing it's just a technical mechanics of it. What I'm speaking towards is why the button was pushed in the first place.
Do people actually want echo chambers or is it the effect they create by using it funny?
I have no idea, you would have to ask them. But my point is an approval or disapproval switch can be pushed for multiple reasons, from logical, to emotional.
the old subreddit r/aBetterWorld is an idea that would help you exactly in this instance if it were not just an idea
Appreciate the info, but I'm into Lemmy, not Reddit.
