It’s Almost Time For MLB’s Underachievers To Rearrange Some Deck Chairs

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://defector.com/its-almost-time-for-mlbs-underachievers-to-rearrange-some-deck-chairs

As you know I think much of the UK's economic doldrums are caused by rubbish management; both in the sense of not being very good at it, and specifically the managerial mindset that workers are a cost to be reduced, not the organisation's key asset that needs to be invested in.

Two charts from the FT reinforce that argument (albeit only via correlation)... at the very same time that more people are mangers than workers, our productivity gains have stagnated.

undefined | Preliminary investigation into managers at the Swedish Tax Agency closed by Sweden Herald

The Swedish Prosecution Authority has announced that the preliminary investigation into alleged breaches of confidentiality by three managers at the Swedish Tax Agency has been closed. The investigation stemmed from a report received on 5 September of the previous year, which claimed that the managers had disclosed confidential information after articles were posted on the agency’s website and a debate piece appeared in the newspaper Expressen.

A preliminary investigation was launched to determine whether the publications contained information that could be considered confidential under the law. After reviewing the evidence, the prosecutor concluded that there was no objective basis on which to prove that a criminal offence had been committed by the managers.

Consequently, the case has been closed without any charges. The decision underscores the difficulty of establishing criminal liability in confidentiality breaches when the alleged disclosures cannot be conclusively linked to a violation of legal standards.
