Stop Blaming Employees for Inefficiency: The Problem Lies in Management
This article criticizes the common practice of blaming employees for multitasking and lack of focus due to a lack of self-discipline. The author argues that the root cause lies in management's failure to effectively prioritize tasks, leading employees to juggle multiple unprioritized tasks, resulting in low efficiency. The article points out that so-called "productivity tools" like Asana and Trello actually shift the responsibility of management onto employees, exacerbating the problem. True productivity tools are those whose absence would significantly impact workflow, unlike management tools. The author calls on management to take responsibility, improve organizational culture, and address the underlying issues of employee burnout and lack of focus, rather than placing the blame on employees.
