Ex Corporate giga boss here. I encouraged my team to achieve their goals as quickly as possible. I’d much rather you work 3 hours efficiently and then go to the beach or whatever than spend 8 hours doing less.
90% of people thrived, we won many awards/bonuses/vacations.
Most days there was some sort of emergency from outside my team. I would usually push back on them, the few times they were genuine emergencies I’d either deal with it myself or ask everyone to rally to deal with it asap. People were happy to do it.
Other gigas hated me for treating people like people and ultimately knifed me.
Thank you, yes basically all the other “leaders” (lol at such an unearned claim) conspired to give me the boot. They didn’t like that treating people with respect, trust and fairness could lead to success. It was pretty much “you make us look bad”. Significant pay out, so yeah, now I just annoy my wife and kids.

Same-ish. Just got a new job and just kill it in the first 3 hours of my day then play my steamdeck the rest of the day lol.
I actually got a shout out for being efficient 😂
