I have a lifelong history of pushing back against overbearing management and some good reasons for doing so. In addition to these endless conflicts being stressful and distracting, the end result (whether I resist or not) is usually poorer performance. And this article bears me out. "Could it be … could it possibly be … that the best way to get good research and publications out of scholars is to hire good people, pay them the going rate and tell them to do the job to the best of their ability?" I've always thought so, and I've always been at my most productive when managers just let me get on with my work.
