My dumb ass boss has the brilliant idea
to dock employees $5
for every mistake made.
It is supposed to be a ‘fun’ bet
to encourage quality.
The thing is…
We’re not making widgets.
We’re playing with ideas,
managing information,
launching new programs.
So what this bet really does
is discourage employees from
trying anything new
and from taking risks.
If you want innovation,
you have to tolerate,
maybe even encourage mistakes.
