Elon Musk's Advice Would Revolutionize Krogrr
Permalink   


  • Walk out of a meeting or end a phone call if it is failing to serve a useful purpose.

 

  • Avoid acronyms or nonsense words. "We don't want people to have to memorise a glossary just to function . . . "

 

  • Sidestep the "chain of command" to get the job done. Managers insisting on hierarchies will "soon find themselves working elsewhere

 

  • Ignore the rules if following a them is obviously ridiculous.

 

Elon Musk

 

Man, this is wisdom . . .  versus the cult of petrified idiocy that is Krogrr management.

Great as is this is and much as I agree, it'll never ever happen. Like our federal government, there's too much beaurocracy involved, too much power in those cliques, too much budget money to be lost.

Sounds like you aren't feeding the human spirit.

Good one.  

Our mindless functionary is being sent to the Happy-Words meeting today.  If the company doesn't somehow turn happy words into a metric he can crush, it will be inconsequential, temporary noise.

 If I could, I would totally love to follow him around for a day to see how he handles work. He is such a genius!

I've said this many times.  Management acts like government workers.  They don't care about anything until it effects them.

 There's a great big bunch of former / now displaced Walmart managers who can speak very loudly to this biggrin

When you have BILLIONS, you can do whatever you want! When you have dollars, you have to follow the rules!

Well damn people, I've worked a full shift and my INSIGHT STORY(TM) to FEED MY HUMAN SPIRIT(TM) is to get the hell out of Kroger so I can follow BEST PRACTICES(TM) with my girlfriend. And those GD huddles too. Nobody got time fo dat.

 Well in retail if you're a stocker/cashier/bagger, you don't have to think very hard to get the job done, unlike other professions.
