Vain Jangling
Who are you to ask me what I have been doing at work?
Apparently, some are taking issue with an email that went out to employees asking them to list five things they have accomplished last week at work. This may be new to some, but many have had to give daily or weekly updates to their supervisors, managers, bosses, as a norm.
At first, this may seem offensive or difficult to process as to why one may suddenly be questioned as to their productivity. Especially, if they have been in a position for years or never been questioned before. However, it is not an invasion of privacy, nor outside of (what others experience as) normal business practices, and is merely vain jangling to claim it is traumatizing employees, their children or their families.
Change is not always welcome. But change is inevitable. And at some point, so is giving account to one’s work performance.
