Скачать или смотреть Feminist Boss Bans 'Solution-Oriented' Meetings, Productivity Plummets Instantly

Emmett was a senior operations analyst at a consulting firm—until CEO Lorraine banned proposing solutions for at least three "exploration sessions" because being solution-oriented was "too masculine." A client inventory problem Emmett could fix in one day now required weeks of "exploring perspectives" and "processing feelings." When he tried explaining the solution, facilitators stopped him: "We're still in the exploration phase." Their biggest client ($1.2M annually) canceled after six weeks of meetings with zero fixes, saying "I'm not paying you to discuss how problems make you feel." Revenue dropped 34%, top performers quit, and clients fled. When the board intervened, they found a consulting firm banned from consulting. Lorraine was removed, the policy scrapped, and a backlog of six-week "explored" problems got solved in days. Female consultants like Simone were just as frustrated—the policy claiming to help women actually assumed they needed three sessions to formulate thoughts.

When you ban solutions at a company whose job is solving problems, you don't lift anyone up—you just drag everyone down.

💬 This workplace implosion about banning problem-solving is LEGENDARY. Have you seen ideology override basic job functions? The $1.2M client loss for refusing to fix things is chef's kiss consequences.
