A lot of modern work still rewards visible activity over useful outcomes.
Fast replies. Packed calendars. Constant availability.
It creates the appearance of productivity, even when very little meaningful work is happening.
The older model measured time and presence.
The newer challenge is measuring clarity, judgment, and useful output.
@captio I think that’s fair, actually. A lot of strategic or analytical work is inherently difficult to observe from the outside. Deep thinking can look identical to disengagement if there’s no context around it.
The problem is that many organisations respond to that uncertainty by rewarding visible activity instead, because it’s easier to measure and easier to interpret quickly.
Responsiveness starts overtaking judgement. I mean, it should really be about quality output or GTFO.
