Engagement and morale are measured independently from performance. The blurb states that the employees are meeting minimum expectations of performance, so the manager has “nothing to complain about.” I’m saying that’s bullshit leadership. If your employees are unhappy, you should ask them why and address any work-related dissatisfaction.
I’m on your side, but you keep missing the point. If you’re in charge of people that need to do a job, and while they are getting the work done, they seem miserable. Wouldn’t you give enough fucks to find out why? Standing there and saying, “well I can’t fire them because they’re doing the work” is the real problem. Not the definition of engagement.
It doesn’t matter if they’re meeting or exceeding expectations. Performance is measured independently of morale and engagement. If you meet expectations, but you’re unhappy at work, a decent leader will ask why and try to make your work life better.
You are saying it in a way that sounds like someone doing their job is disengagement.

Someone doing their job without going above and beyond is a work related concern?
That is what we are talking about.

Why do you think someone doing their job and not going above and beyond is likely to mean they are also miserable?
I would expect someone who just does the job they signed up for to be happier than someone who thinks they have to go above and beyond.

Isn’t this work reform? Why would you not expect more from the people you work for?
