It’s surprising to see how companies pay hundreds of thousands of dollars salary per annum to the employees but fail to provide work environment which enables them to maximize their productivity.
- toyg 8y agoI'm sure somebody would say that's precisely because they pay people so much, that they are constantly out to reduce costs elsewhere. In reality, managers are simply on the constant lookout to squeeze costs down, and worker salaries escape the cut only in some job markets because of very specific circumstances (like a period of history when the need to build software severely outstrips overall production capacity). There is no real master plan to maximize productivity.
- ben509 8y agoTheir performance numbers are sketchy as all hell, so even if they had some way of comparing performance with and without constant noise, would they be able to glean reliable information from it? So it's close to perfect information on rent vs. some vague and unquantifiable "I can't focus" complaints regarding the noise in a work environment.
