Unleash your creativity!?
“This is important because to unleash innovation and
meaningful results, you need room to make bold decisions, test and learn from
mistakes, and importantly have the support of your team. As technology moves
faster and market conditions change, we’re fundamentally a stronger company because
we care about each other and the work that we do. We care about getting it
right for our partners our consumers and our employees.”
Sadly, seems that it takes more courage
(than initially thought) for a company to truly embrace the technological
innovations. Most or them are overwhelmingly stuck in 9 to 5 pm (nu matter how
flexible they advertised to be) & 5 days / week. People are still tied to
one particular desk in a particular office. Even when you put the economic
aspects in the equation, still the employers are reluctant to change. The costs
implied by the work-related commute are growing in direct proportion with the
level/years of experience as more and more professionals are moving outside the
cities where the main/cool/state of
the art/innovative offices are located.
We are seeing an increased trend in
developing the management related
jobs/positions and less and less in “getting
the job done” type of jobs.
As an engineer, I recognise the need of a
work-related routine (work hrs schedule and office-like setup) but this does
not mean that this cannot be applied anywhere in the world where the minimum
conditions are provided.
I do believe that the statement “good work
it can’t be done outside our cool/sate of the art office” is a very bold and unrealistic.
It is contradicting the inclusion & diversity statement along with other
similar statements. We are still in the “fast food” era, where the “get together
message” is more a physical statement rather than an ideological one.
