The magazine had recently implemented a new word-processing system called XyWrite, which allowed management to measure the number of column inches a given writer had published over the course of a month or year. McKinsey, the management consulting firm, was hired to evaluate exactly that – how productive a given writer had been.
They didn’t evaluate if the writer had a following; if the prose was exceptional; if his or her work was so highly regarded that it actually changed societal outcomes. It was a game of inches. If you didn’t write enough and blather on, you were put on the cut list. Happily, Time management came to its senses when they saw who was getting the axe and abandoned the idea altogether.
