      Seriously, that seems like what this poster is actually promoting. Whoever made it/put it up in the office wasn’t working particularly intelligent that day

    Management not providing their employees with adequate tools to do their job while also keeping them in the dark about the greater picture of their company. Ignoring their employee’s problems and then blaming those who try to solve it on their own.

    This is unrealistic, the client would never say thank you.

    In my experience they’d carry on complaining, even after an apology and saying it’ll be put right.

    Also, even if they didn’t need to specifically be cubes, he still left part of the object behind.

    Does it not matter how much he brings to the end?

    Is the requirement for success here solely his speed?

    Why not ditch the cube altogether?

    Or is it a sum of both speed and “cube mass”?

    If so, how much can he shave off and still compensate by being fast?

    Could you just cut a small piece of it and sprint to the end?

    Is there a minimum amount you need to bring?

    So many questions…

    Why waste time carving it into a perfect sphere? They could have saved a ton of time by just making a wheel instead.

    If the point of the work was to deliver cubes, then it wouldn’t be working smart.

    But since the original premise was that they were working smart, that means it doesn’t matter what shape the objects are delivered in.

      No. Its one of those stupid motivational posters that doesn’t make sense.

      If he wanted to work smart sphere guy could have simply made a cylinder. It would have taken him less time to carve and transportation would have been just as easy, if not easier than the sphere because the ground pressure is spread over a larger surface area.

      He’s also lost about 48% of the original product. If he had made a cylinder, he’d only have lost 21% of the original product.

      If it doesn’t matter how much got delivered, then just trim a corner off and deliver that. He could have put it in his pocket and simply walked over.

    Hah, love all the suits. This poster is for management. They see how smart they imagine themselves being the one whittling the sphere out of a block.

    But what we don’t see is the frontline employees that queried the block, loaded it, shipped it, and did all the work of carving it. But the suit takes credit for it.

      So you didn’t get that the cubes simply represent anything from products to ideas?

      What we don’t see here really, is the unnecessary explanation that the ideology behind this image is to “think outside the box.”

    Also if you push the front edge will dig into the ground, the force vector you apply has a downward component.

    If the employees pulled it would lift the front edge and avoid the cubes getting stuck on obstacles.
