I thought that the article about Scientific Management was interesting because it altered the way we do things even today. I don’t agree that every person needed to do a certain job in the amount of time that they designate to the job. That’s why many people lost their job or were not getting paid for doing a specialty job that now has been streamlined. The only professions that did not go through this were being a doctor or a lawyer. You had to go to school for these professions. When machines were invented it really took a person’s specialty skills and made them feel useless. Now there are more specialty jobs for people who have the training, certificates, or schooling.---Pam Petzold | I thought that the article about Scientific Management was interesting because it altered the way we do things even today.

| + | To this day, I still see Taylorism in the workplace. From my own personal work experience I know that the employees are taught a certain, most efficient way to do things and if that way was altered than a reprimand would be in order. Specifically with machines, this is a way of Taylorism itself. In some professions man-power is seen as useless compared to the precision, efficiency, and cost-friendly aspects of the machine. I believe Taylor set a standard that today is still being followed. --Stephanie Lipscomb | ||
