There is no
time for prevarication any more, not even much chance to pay our bills a little
late; they are on your case spontaneously.
I put it down to the advent of modern computerisation it was bad when
they done away with typewriters.Now we have to type and even think a little
faster.
What I did
not foresee is that we have to move a little quicker, I know we had people
moving like robots that was part of the modern culture, we could do the robot
dance and jerky movements (slowly). Now that robots have been improved and are
more natural more human like, there is little difference in the expectations.
Time and motion used to be the sampling of one’s work rate, now everybody is
expected to move at work like Usain Bolt. The tea lady who stocks up the tea
machine; The security guard as he opens the gates in the morning , the
receptionist as she answers the phone as quickly as possible when will it all
end. You either move faster at work or are dismissed simples. If you are caught reading you are accused of
sleeping with your eyes open.
Does it
maximise productivity and Profit? I don’t think so, we seem to be moving away
from the post human workforce and entering an era of Man V Machine, Where the tempo
or beat of the galley slaver is formulated as a permanent tempo for battle. As shown on the Panorama investigation of #Amazon
It is the opinion of Giles Bedloe a Barrister consulted, said work which is of
physical strain should not work in excess of 8 hrs of a given period to protect
the rights and interest of its employees.
The motivating factor is to meet productivity targets according to what
is monitored by the hand held machine. Professor
Michael Marmot an expert on stress at work concluded that the dimensions of the
work environment can be bad for your health causing mental illness and physical
illness.
