Stop scheduling "quick syncs" at 4:45pm to see who's still at their desk.
Stop measuring productivity by commits or by butts in seats.
Stop calling surveillance "collaboration culture."
Stop running standups where everyone recites what they already said in Slack.
Stop designing process without the people who have to survive it.
Stop treating your role as organizational LARPing.
Stop bolting "autonomy" onto surveillance because that's a hall pass. Can I use the bathroom?
Stop performing live coding challenges in your interviews.
Stop posting about trust you never extended.
Start asking the people doing the work what actually helps.
Or don't.
Watch your best engineers measure the distance to the exit. They're not quiet quitting. They're loud leaving.
You just weren't listening.
