Without having looked at your link, because I’m on the train without headphones and don’t want to be that guy:
You can compensate for a lot by paying people a good, stable salary. Light knows I’m tolerating some bullshit just because a permanent full-time job in a stable industry with alright pay and a strong union and workers’ council is a welcome reprieve in an unstable time. Sure, I can’t be as flexible with HO as I’d like, but at least I can make a living and support my wife without stressing out about suddenly getting a lot of time at home without office.
But even money can only do so much. Working conditions, realistic expectations, getting and heeding feedback from the people doing the actual work also matter. It’s perpetually confusing to see top management be so neglectful in their treatment of “human resources”, because even that dehumanising phrasing implies they’re resources that ought to be maintained.
