why do we track work based on hour?
what matters as an employee is, do you bring value to me?
or, do you bring as much value as possible to me.
key word, is value
but, it’s hard to quantify value. we need metrics.
Option 1
we can do “I want you to finish this, within this month”. that’s a metric, finish and not finish.
Option 2
we can also do hour, “I want you to allocate this much hour to me”. that’s also metric, 2 3 4 hours.
…
do they correlate directly to value? the first one is. the second one, is not. You can allocate time, yet your brain is not trying. or maybe your brain is trying but, it just doesn’t work.
so why don’t we do the first one? well, your employee might only allocate 1 hour a week. if that brings value to you, than that’s fine right? If you focus on value, and that value is exactly what you want, then that’s fine.
but your employee might allocate 10 hours a day, yet still doesn’t give you the value. Based on the same logic, it’s not fine.
…
we can do amalgamation of both.
you will try at most certain hours. trying to achieve something. whichever hit first, then you stop. the goal is achieved, or the hour is given.
it’s an if-statement with an or conditional.
hopefully this is good for the employeer and the employee. the value is delivered, and the employee is not encouraged to not be effective.
