Maybe the micro-management is not micro-managing what you think they should be micro-managing?

I mean, thats the problem with vertical schemes and bureocracy.. the guy who is micro-managing is also micro-managed by some sort of results that actually ends not being very pragmatic, end give him good points in this blind objective system who ranks him and the people he manage according to some parameters that in the end they 'game' to look good.

They manager just blindly follows the policies, like a dumb decoupled code. He's as guilty as his superior and the entire system.
Thats the problem with people beeing forced to game ranking systems in order to advance starting from their childhood.

Of course we want to fight the impermanence, but we should not create a bubble to feel safe inside of it as a virtual environment with rules that doesnt change, just because we miss the peace in the maternal woomb.

The impermanence and uncertainty is a reality, we should not fight in order to avoid it by being alienated of its nature, but to use our science, math and tools after all to understand it, and to navigate better through it.

The XXI century requires a deep change in our philosophical disposition and culture.

Its not just about Google, the corporate culture of Google is a side effect of our culture as anything else that grows inside of it.

But the rigid schemes are a clear sign that it will stop innovating more and more with time as the old startup status-quo defying spirit is completely gone.
