Call centre management approach to knowledge worker professionals
TUPE'd to HP ES 5 years ago and have never seen a bigger shambles from the top down. Stuck it for 2 years before making the jump and never looked back.
IBM and HP are trying to manage professionals like minimum wage call centre staff (and I've been one so this isn't snobbery). Treat workers like infants and they will act like it. Trust professionals and they will deliver.
I delivered a multinational transformation project without meeting 90% of the team in person because we didnt need to (and they were spread across Europe).
Presenteeism at it's finest from IBM and HP. Twunts...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
