[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 300072, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]Taylorism is a great subject to debate. Your bathroom situation is a wonderfull example of taylorism taken to extremes. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]There are 340 methods outlined by UPS for delivery. If you were to do a study on all ups managers you would find that they do not necessarily agree with all 340 methods and enforce or strongly believe in most with a variance. Their individual beliefs or level of tolerance will dictate where they stand on them. Those who enforce no methods will be your poorest managers.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]When you break it down to specific methods that you do not agree with then you can actually come up with valid reasons for many or most of them. Your bathroom example also illustrated that you could even find a more efficent way to perform this task.
