Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I agree if your objective is to get any given thing done to any completion percentage and any quality is acceptable. But I struggle to see how this management strategy would work, for eg, in a marketing department.

"WRITE ME A NEW SET OF EMAILS OR ILL PULL OUT YOUR FINGERNAILS" would probably work once, but that person would likely probably quit by the end of the day.

Unless you're advocating that all jobs should be slavery?

Most jobs already feel that way. I'm not really talk about punishment from a boss but the impacts on you life/health over the long term if you just decide to not do the work.

What does your life look like if you decide to not pursue a big goal?
