Compromise is the moment a group has given up on finding the best solutionWhat a toxic and zero-sum viewpoint. What a stark admission that someone is unable to be willing to consider the possibility that someone else might be right, or at least partially right. If this philosophy was prevalent at Microsoft in 2010+, it would explain a number of Microsoft corporate decisions. Putting a smartphone touchscreen UI on a computer server product (Windows 2012) being just one obvious example.
Strongly agree. If anything, compromise is necessary for finding the best solution for everyone, especially as we're all different.
That manager thinking that compromise is "giving up" needs to get out of the selfish delusion and come back to reality. Feel sorry for the subordinates!
The reasons to be accepted for a mid-level and above management position have long stopped including "being a leader".
Doesn't it also contradict his own decision? Below that quote he also says:
Forcing RTO is maintaining the status quo, which itself is a compromise you make to not do anything about the changes that happen as time goes on. He is literally making a compromise to preserve cohesion. But I guess in his mind him making compromises with himself don't count, the only compromise that matters is the one he has to make with others.
if someone said this to me I'd be like "oh okay great. I won't compromise then. I'm working from home."
