No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You might want to edit the title to include the actual question.
but as for the question itself... Ahm. just on a pragmatic side... "the rest of the company..." might be something that could be reasonably done on a small company (less than a 250 people. Probably less than 50 people, actually,) but in any large company, you may as well send out a poll asking what kind of soup they prefer- Chicken or Pea Soup- and which ever manager backing the losing soup gets the axe.
The only people who might be aware of how hard any given person works are going to be the team members alongside them and the direct reports above and below them.
And to be perfectly blunt, working hard doesn't necessarily translate to work getting done. if the manager is just spinning their wheels and not getting the core stuff done, it's a problem. If the manager is spending too much time on things that simply don't matter... it's a problem.
Ultimately, even if you can have a reasonable belief that every one knows what every one else does and doesn't do (that sounds like hell, actually.) it turns into a popularity contest and the manager whose actually keeping things running might not get recognized by it, where the manager throwing parties and blowing cash does. One might say I'm being a stick in the mud, but the reality is, if the managers stop facilitating the work their people do... then the company fails. No parties. no jobs. no company.
Yeah, wouldn’t really work for a huge company. Most people don’t know EVERYONE in the whole company. Also, more popular people would have an unfair advantage
functionally, it wouldn't work for anything more than a very small start up. just on the practical side.
it's not just a question of unfair advantage. It's a bald faced stupid way to run a company. you cannot make everyone happy, and a good manager isn't going to be the most liked person in the room.
Human nature means most people won't be invested in making a sound business decision. they're going to invest as much thought into it as voting in a poll about what soup is their favorite. maybe considerably less.
it is a really stupid idea, no wonder nobody does it!
