You're missing the human element. Interaction, trust, agreement, compromise, etc. This dehumanizes the entire work ethic and punishes people from the start who are naturally intrinsically hard workers out of their soul, by telling them to meet an algorithm quota rather than giving them the trust and freedom to do what they do best. For example, I'm naturally a hard worker when I respect my boss and want to see my company grow. However, if my boss told me to meet a machine-managed quota, I would lose motivation because I would have no respect for a boss like that. Why would I want to enrich a company that treats me like a slave? On the other hand, I love working for small businesses who treat me like family and I give them my 110% because I respect them and I feel a part of their success. You can't completely remove the human element from the workforce and expect better results. People aren't robots. This is why management skills are so important, something I've seen on the decline in recent years. I see a trend toward dehumanization the more technology increases. We start becoming integrated into this trans-humanist technology lifestyle and we start losing all of those human qualities that used to be highly revered in past times.
