Charles Babbage's Difference Engine was originally meant to be run on steam, but it was never completed. A demo version of the Difference Engine 2 was completed in 2002 by the Science Museum and runs under what kind of power?
Today’s Leadership & Development story about Wells Fargo employees getting fired after they were discovered having “mouse jigglers” -- devices that make computers appear to be active -- had me rolling my eyes and sighing. The story doesn’t say why workers used the mouse jigglers, though I think it’s reasonable to conclude it’s so they wouldn’t get caught doing something other than work.
Folks, let me be clear: The workers are responsible for losing their jobs. This was not Wells Fargo fault. Wells Fargo did not do a poor of engaging these employees. These folks cheated work because they lack integrity -- not because the bank didn’t provide “meaningful, purpose-driven work.”
Let’s call a spade a spade, folks. Our culture has gone the other way, making excuses for poor work ethic and laying the blame for it at the feet of employers. Time for us to do better and address behavior that is wrong. And if that means calling folks to offices, so be it. Nonsense like this makes me understand why some employers are going that route.
