It's in little last man

It's a serious way on Hello everybody and welcome back to the seriously wrong podcast.

We are your two noble, humble, genius co-hosts, shot at Aaron.

This is shot.

A couple of humble geniuses, you know.

Don't like to brag about it, but...

Yeah, humility is important.

Humility is almost as important as genius.

That's true.

We've got both in spades over here.

So today we're going to be talking about an aspect of work culture, an ism, Taylorism, or scientific management, it's also called.

It's a set of ideas about how the labor process and the working process should ideally work for maximum efficiency that was spearheaded by a guy named Frederick W. Taylor in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Yeah, basically he took a look at the factories of the time, the early industrial revolution,

and thought, like, you know, these people are so lazy, they're not doing enough work.

How can I apply rationality and science to force these lazy brutes to produce more.

And, you know, to be fair to him, he was pretty successful at it.

Like he did force them to produce more for the business owners to make more profit.

Yeah, and those results, they came at a human cost, you know, pushing people beyond what they can do on a regular basis.

This episode of Seriously Wrong is proudly brought to you by churning every sweet drop of blood out of the workers at any cost.
