model

The x model and its theories and methods for efficiency are best left to the places that manufacture things on assembly lines. Any manager who does not appreciate the human element in non-mechanical work is frankly a hindrance. A government or management that manages minimally and more importantly knows when to leave things alone, is the best kind. You cannot replace a person with another person and expect the new person to work like a cloned spare part just because some research paper somewhere generalized the words 'industry' and 'job'. It has not worked here before and if it ever does work, it will be nauseatingly attributed to the mighty farsighted manager and not the person below him who went out of his way to make it happen. What kind of a nonsensical system is this? I don't deny there's a role to be played by a manager, but get over yourselves. He pays attention like a sensitive voice recorder and barely surpasses it in comprehension. If the theory says that a worker can be replaced by any other, let us please start with you. Wait. That's exactly how you got your job. What a perfect system this is: so beautiful... insensitive self absorbed number based system which knows nothing about exceptions and has many ways to manipulate itself and fool itself into believing that it is working. Creating an intelligent system demands that you live with it. It is not a replication process followed in a car company. There is an organic evolution which cannot be treated like a machine blue print. It is precisely NOT a rocket science. You CANNOT quantify everything. There IS inherent fuzziness. The end line IS blurred. Don't be in such a hurry to make more money. Growth occurs in many forms - somethings have to be in a cocoon for a while too. Learn it. Give it some thought. Listen. We have had more managers and 'resource' shuffles and 'head count' fluctuations than I can bear to stomach.
