I overemphasized the point to make a point.
That's the problem with hypothetical questions - the parameters don't always provide a framework in reality.
Indeed. For all we know, the situation in the OP
could have been that we're on a magical base on the moon, where if word gets out that a person does not trust their intuition, they get ejected into space.
That's why one must become creative in order to hire the people you get good hunches about. Personal interviews first, then invitation to testing, so you can screen out the people you get bad info / vibes from ("doesn't seem like a team player to me based on these responses.") When you get "good" at reading others / interviewing you know what questions you can ask to catch people with their own real answers that are contrary to the objectives of the position.
Now
there's the glorious Ne "circumventing the rules" mentality. I'm going to have to remember this method if I get myself into such a situation
ACK! :horor:
Never "assume" in a business environment. Find out. Have someone find out for you. Then check on their checking.
Remember, always.
Cover Your Ass, no one else will.
Oh, yeah.. I guess, relating to the first quote, if the situation in the OP was one I faced in real life, I'd be cognizant of the hiring rules before I did any such hiring. And then, relating to the second quote, I'd do my best to get around them and do what I want anyway
Greed, you made the right assumption. That's exactly what was intended.
I hired people to work for me for years.
I hate to burst someone's bubble in this thread, but yes, Ni is indeed allowed to call the shots.
When you hire people to work for you, you can do whatever the hell you want.
Period.
You're absolutely right. On the other hand, many perceive "you can do whatever the hell you want" to imply "without consequence," which is simply not the case. However one decides to call the shots in whatever environment he's in--be it through hunches or through rigorous research--he must also take responsibility for his actions.
I don't know how old you are Greed,
but I can certainly understand your not wanting to work for a bureaucracy or large business.
I tell people to blaze their own trail; run their own show.
I can think of nothing more stifling to the human soul, than working in a cubicle every day for someone else.
That's death.
25. Started working in my field at a pretty young age. Four years in various bureaucratic environments and working for large businesses was enough to make me want to stab myself. It helped me figure out my priorities, though. And it led me to a situation wherein I had the
flexibility I needed in order to actually be productive. It took a lot of drudgery to get there, though, but I knew just about where I was headed, and that kept me going.
Even with our level of flexibility, many other researchers take whatever work they can get and end up back at environments where they lose that flexibility. One of my fellow researchers told me of a company he worked with that wanted employees to document their activities
in 15-minute increments. I, however, actively refuse to take on customers who are large businesses and expect to treat me as if I were an employee of theirs. That is about the
worst death, yes.
But some people absolutely thrive under such structured environments. My hat goes off to them, since that's a capability that I lack.
